The cyber cell of North Mumbai on Tuesday arrested a man from Jharkhand for allegedly cheating a chartered accountant to the tune of Rs 10 lakh on the pretext of updating his KYC (Know Your Customer). The mastermind in the case is still at large.
The arrested accused Dularchand Mandal was paid Rs 25,000 by the mastermind to use his own bank account for cheating people. According to the police sources, the complainant is a resident of Kandivli. In January, the victim received a call from a person who introduced himself as a mobile service provider executive. He told the victim that if he did not update his KYC, his SIM card would get blocked. The CA was then asked by Mandal to download a mobile app.
