The Kasturba Marg police have arrested three men who are allegedly part of a cyber fraud gang for kidnapping a youth. Allegations suggest that the kidnappers are members of a cybercrime gang who lure individuals to open bank accounts. These accounts are then exploited to deposit or transfer fraudulently obtained funds through cybercrimes.

According to police sources, the suspects allegedly abducted a 23-year-old youth in a car from Borivli on Friday night. As the car proceeded towards Dahisar, the victim’s cry for help drew the attention of traffic police at the check naka. The traffic cops intercepted the vehicle around 10 pm. On seeing the police approach the vehicle, one of the suspects alighted from the car and fled. The youth identified as Sonu Singh told police that he had been kidnapped. The traffic police detained all individuals involved and took them to Kashimira police station. After listening to Singh’s account, the police handed over the suspects and the victim to the Kasturba Marg police station.
