MUMBAI, March 31 -- An autorickshaw driver was arrested for allowing a cyber fraud racket to use his account to divert defrauded money from an Andheri based senior citizen who was cheated of Rs.1.54 crore. The victim, a 69-year-old retired man was trapped by a cyber criminal who called him in December 2025 and claimed he had been circulating obscene clips for extortion. Officers from the cyber cell said the frauds told the victim they were police officers and that he would be arrested if he did not co-operate with them. The accused then allegedly sent fake summons and an arrest warrant, and even staged a fake courtroom proceeding with a purported judge to gain his trust and coerce him into giving them money. Fearing arrest, he transferred Rs.1.57 crore, after which the fraudsters cut off contact, police said. Realising he had been duped, the victim approached the police, who registered a case and began tracking the money trail. The investigation led them to a bank account linked to an autorickshaw driver in Mumbai. The police subsequently arrested the accused, identified as Ashok Pal and further inquiries are underway to trace other members of the racket, police said....
