The Santacruz police arrested a 35-year-old man from Haryana, Sunil Garg, who was allegedly involved in opening bank accounts and supplying them to a cyber fraud gang. His arrest follows the discovery of a cyber fraud incident where a 49-year-old manager from the Ireland embassy was defrauded of Rs 7 lakh by a gang posing as Crime Branch officers.

Garg, who is a Std VI dropout, is reportedly skilled in share market trading and cryptocurrency, according to police officers. Some of the bank accounts were created using the names of his wife and other relatives. Garg reportedly received a 2 per cent commission on each successful cyber fraud transaction.
