In a major breakthrough, a team from the Cyber Crime police station of the Kaithal police arrested two cyber fraudsters from the jungles of Nuh, where they were allegedly running a cyber fraud racket.
The accused have been identified as Mohammad Maqsood and Nasim, both residents of Mamlika in Nuh. Nasim has been sent to judicial custody, while Maqsood has been sent to two-day police remand. The police claimed that they had been operating cyber fraud schemes from the jungle hideout.
Giving details, the police spokesperson said that Simran, a resident of the Devigarh road in Kaithal, filed a complaint stating that she holds a bank account with Union Bank.
