Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Cyber Crime Branch on Thursday arrested three cyber conmen including the kingpin of the gang involved in duping people on pretext of providing donations to their NGOs. Three members of the gang were arrested earlier.

Additional DCP (crime) Shailendra Singh Chauhan said that cyber conmen duped NGO founder Rs 18 lakh in cash on pretext of providing donation of Rs 20 crores to his organisation.

A case was registered in this connection and three persons were arrested around a month back. On Wednesday a police team arrested three more accused including the kingpin of the gang from Mumbai.

The fraudsters have been identified as Anil Kumar Maurya (27) of Thane, who is native of Sultanpur in UP. Manish Pal (34) of Mumbai and kingpin of the gang, Sandeep Pandey (37). Pandey, who resides in Mumbai hails from Pratapgarh district of UP.

All members of the gang are in private jobs but formed a gang headed by Pandey to dupe people on different pretexts. Manish, an auto driver, registered a firm on behalf of Pandey and used the firm’s bank account to transfer cash from people.

The accused are being questioned further to ascertain their involvement in similar other frauds, Chauhan added.
