Aurangabad, Nov 3:
A cyber crook duped a woman of Rs 21,50,355 online by luring her on social media that he is calling from Germany. A case in this regard was registered at the Cidco police station. The Cyber police station team arrested the fraudster in Delhi. The accused has been identified as Ashishkumar Bhagwandeep Maurya (21, Dhebariya Raut, tehsil Harayya, Uttar Pradesh, presently living at Chandan Gaurishankar Sahu, West Delhi).
As the case was puzzling, CP Dr Nikhil Gupta handed over the investigation to the cyber police station team led by PI Gautam Patare. API Amol Satodkar, PSI Rahul Chavan and others checked the technical details and found that the complainant woman got in contact with the crook on social media.
