Hyderabad: Hyderabad cyber crime teams arrested two persons who allegedly collected about 70 mule accounts used in over 450 fraud cases across the country involving transactions worth ₹70 crore.
The accused, Gumma Ramesh and 19-year-old Mudale Anil, residents of Ramanthapur, were arrested based on credible information, said DCP cybercrime S. Chaitanya Kumar.
Ramesh allegedly developed contacts with cyber fraudsters and, along with an absconding associate, induced students, delivery partners and others to provide bank accounts and SIM cards for commissions.
These were couriered to Haryana and used in cyber frauds.
Anil allegedly admitted to opening three bank accounts and handing over credentials to Ramesh.
The case began with a complaint on September 25, when a victim was cheated of ₹7,93,351 on the pretext of exchanging an old ₹1 currency note for ₹45 lakh.
