In a significant cyber fraud case, two cousins from Nashik, Yogeshwar Jagannath Kuthe and Hrishikesh Bhagwat Kuthe, were arrested for allegedly enabling fraudsters to use their bank accounts to execute a scam that defrauded Rajasekharan Harikrishnan, a 54-year-old former senior vice president, of ₹89 lakh (approximately $107,000 USD). The scam began when Harikrishnan joined a WhatsApp group focused on share trading, where he was approached by individuals claiming to be stock market experts. These fraudsters, identifying themselves as 'Professor Sanjeev Das' and associates, convinced him to invest through a fraudulent trading application. After investing the money, Harikrishnan was unable to withdraw his funds, discovering that they had been transferred out of his account without his knowledge. Following his report to the North Region cyber police, investigations revealed that ₹51 lakh of the fraud amount had been routed through the cousins' bank accounts in Nashik, leading to their arrest. They were subsequently presented to a Borivali court, which remanded them to two days of police custody for further questioning.
