Fraudsters are using the bank accounts of deceased individuals to transfer money obtained through various cyber fraud schemes. The Bangur Nagar police have arrested the duo from Dehli who allegedly used this modus operandi.

The investigation began when the Bangur Nagar cyber cell was looking into an insurance fraud case. In this case, the scammers duped a 53-year-old film director of R90,000 by falsely claiming to renew his lapsed insurance policies. An FIR was registered in this regard under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology (IT) Act in February.
