A 25-year-old man from Surat has been arrested for allegedly facilitating a cyber fraud that defrauded a Mumbai businessman and his wife of ₹21 lakh. The accused reportedly provided his bank account to fraudsters who used it to route and withdraw the stolen funds. The money was siphoned off after the couple opened a malicious file disguised as a traffic e-challan, granting fraudsters access to their linked bank accounts. Police are investigating the involvement of at least four other individuals.
