Hyderabad: In a major breakthrough in the series of increasing frauds, the Cyber Crime Police, Cyberabad, arrested Israel Chimezie, 35, a native of Nigeria, in connection with a fraud to the tune of Rs 10.9 lakh reported in April.
A message from the accused (presently residing at Mumbai) calling for business partnership in production of animal injection and vaccines attracted a businessman from Nacharam, S Vinod Kumar. He fell prey to the offer and responded by paying Rs 10 lakh for purchase of one litre of 'Nritonic' liquid used in preparation of the said vaccines.
According to the complaint, he had deposited the amount to a Mumbai-based agent, Kushi Raj, to get the material. A representative, Francis, on behalf of Israel, who met Vinod Kumar in the city, took a sample of the liquid for inspection and approval to Mumbai.
After reaching Mumbai, Francis called Vinod asking him to buy another 10 litres of the said liquid immediately to start the business by paying Rs 1 crore. Sensing something fishy, Vinod asked Kushi to return the money, for which he replied that 15 per cent would be deducted for damages. Vinod then lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police. The complaint was then directed to Additional DCP (Crimes) Janaki Sharmila, who in turn formed a team headed by Cyber Crime inspector S Jayaram and went to Mumbai and nabbed Israel with the help of local police.
