BPO employee arrested in phishing case

The Delhi police arrested Shweta Zende (26), a BPO employee, from her Greece Park residence in Wanowrie for a phishing attack on Indrapal Singh's bank account. The Delhi police will produce her in Lashkar court to seek her transit remand.

"The complainant, Singh, had registered a case of Internet banking fraud on December 22. Initial investigation revealed that Rs 5.5 lakh from Singh's account were deposited to two Mumbai-based bank accou-nts with the help of Internet banking. Of the two, one belonged to Zende," said PSI Shivram of Miyawali Nagar police station in Delhi. "Also, Rs 3 lakh was withdrawn from Zende's account immediately after the transfer."

According to the Delhi police, Zende was working as a BPO employee in Mumbai. She claimed that a friend had borrowed her ATM card under the pretext that somebody was sending money to her account. Zende said, "The police have said everything, I will not tell you my friend's name as I fear that will alert him. I want him caught."

Shivram said, "It is too early to say whether she was cheated or not. Rs 2.5 lakh were deposited to another account named Shri Swami Samarth Travels but we could not trace them."
