Two Former Inmates Arrested in Rs 86 Lakh Share-Trading Cyber Fraud in Pune
Two former inmates, Avinash Dnyanoba Baklikar and Tejas Dnyanoba Lokhande, were arrested in Pune for an alleged Rs 86 lakh share-trading fraud. Baklikar, a medical dropout, and Lokhande reportedly used contacts made in Yerawada Central Jail to operate mule bank accounts for cybercrime. The case began after a retired senior citizen was cheated, with police tracing transactions to Lokhande's account. Both had prior criminal records and resumed cybercrime activities after bail, according to police investigations.
