During the investigation, a cyber crime police team led by Priyanshu Diwan, ACP (cybercrime) nabbed the accused from Tamil Nadu on Friday. The accused was identified as Mohammad Jameel bin Mohammad Iqbal, a resident of Malaysia.
“During the probe, the investigation team found that the mother of the accused is from Tamil Nadu and he is also married in Tamil Nadu, due to which he knew the Tamil language. The above accused had come to India with another Malaysian partner, and he had taken the Indian SIM card used in committing the fraud from another accused, Devkaran. Some other SIM cards provided by the accused have also been used in the fraud cases,” Priyanshu Diwan, ACP (cybercrime), said.
Police then circulated a lookout notice against the accused, and the accused had come to Tamil Nadu to attend a wedding ceremony, after which the accused was arrested by Gurugram Police. Four accused have already been arrested in this case, he said.
The investigation team has recovered a Malaysia passport, an international driving licence, a Malaysia identity card, a health card, a debit card, a Malaysia driving licence, a mobile phone, a SIM card, a ring and foreign and Indian currency from the possession of the accused.
Further action will be taken in the case as per the rules. The case is under investigation, he added.
