The Manpada police in Dombivli have arrested three persons in a cyber fraud case to the tune of Rs 72 lakh. The accused were identified as Sarvesh Kumar, Mahendra Kumar, and Raj Rajput. The Kumars were held from Delhi, while Rajput was arrested from a Goa casino.

The three were traced through the bank accounts that the Kumars were using to make fraudulent transactions. In this instance, former division manager of a well-known bank, and a resident of Khoni Palawa area in Dombivli East, Madhukar Parate, 72, received a call from the fraudsters who lured him with “high returns” on his investments and coaxed him into paying them.
