Chandigarh: Four held in ₹54L cyber fraud targeting city bizman

The UT cybercrime police have arrested four accused for allegedly duping a city-based businessman of over ₹54 lakh. The accused are said to be involved in a multi-state cyber-fraud syndicate.

The case was registered on April 17, on the complaint of Manish Aggarwal, a Chandigarh-based steel businessman, who had applied for a Toyota dealership. Soon after, he received calls and emails from fraudsters impersonating senior officials of Toyota Kirloskar Motors. Using a fake mobile number and forged email ID, the accused convinced him that his dealership application had been approved.
