Three Foreign Nationals Arrested for Rs 6.31 Lakh Cyber Fraud in Gujarat
Three foreign nationals from Ghana, Tanzania, and South Sudan were arrested in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly defrauding a farmer in Gujarat's Rajkot district of Rs 6.31 lakh through a social media scam. The accused reportedly gained the farmer's trust via Facebook, claiming to send a valuable package from Germany.

Investigations involved digital evidence leading to multiple arrests and freezing of bank accounts.
