Mumbai: Jharkhand man scams woman of Rs 1 lakh

MUMBAI: MIDC police on Tuesday arrested a school dropout from Jharkhand for siphoning off Rs 1 lakh from the bank account of a 31-year-old senior executive after she called a customer care number.
The incident took place on February 14, 2019. The Andheri resident, who works with a private financial firm, has said she got the nationalised bank's customer care contact details through an online search.
After tracking the money trail, a police team reached Kolkata and inquired with the bank where the accused, Suresh Mandal, had credited the money.
The accused has been in judicial custody since July 2019 after Jharkhand police arrested him for operating a call centre that was involved in phishing. "The accused was in judicial custody and failed to get bail. We got his custody seven months after we sent a court order to the Ahilyapur cyber police," said a police officer.
