Gurugram police form SIT to probe ₹41 crore cyber fraud in e-wallet firm
A 20-member special investigation team (SIT) has been formed to probe the ₹41 crore cyber fraud targeting an e-wallet firm in the city, police officials said on Wednesday. The SIT, the first of its kind in a cybercrime case here, will be headed by ACP (cybercrime) Priyanshu Dewan and include at least 20 investigating officers, officials added.
The fraud was detected just weeks before the firm’s annual general meeting. A security breach in its software enabled customers to transfer any amount into bank accounts or make payments even without sufficient balance. Transactions were also processed even after entering incorrect PINs, officials said.
