Kali Kumar Ghosh (56), a teacher at the Government Women's Inter College in Jamtara in Jharkhand, and Arjun Rana (26), a Class VIII drop-out well-versed in four languages, are associated with several such gangs, Cyber Crime Cell Superintendent of Police Jitendra Singh told PTI.
"Ghosh was part of a gang that had duped a man of adjoining Ujjain district of Rs 23.62 lakh on the pretext of giving him an opportunity of getting high returns under a top bank's rewards policy. The victim deposited money in different bank accounts," the SP said.
Rana duped an Indore man of Rs 2 lakh by posing as a bank official and claiming he would solve a credit card issue, the SP said.
"Rana, after obtaining the victim's credit card details, sent him a link, through which he obtained the latter's one-time password (OTP). Rana then withdrew Rs 2 lakh using these details," he said.
