South Mumbai’s cyber cell arrested two individuals on Saturday, one of whom is a lawyer, allegedly involved in a cyber fraud worth Rs 3 crore. After the arrest, the police froze Rs 14 lakh found in one of the bank accounts of the alleged accused. In August 2023, complainant Hemangi Jhunjhunwala, 47, approached south Mumbai’s cyber cell to register a case against a girl named Arya. Jhunjhunwala lives in Walkeshwar and works out of an office in Fort. She runs a business importing synthetic rubber.
Jhunjhunwala told police that Arya sent her a message on WhatsApp, offering a part-time job of liking videos on YouTube. Convinced by the offer, Jhunjhunwala joined the part-time work and received returns for liking videos initially.
