Surat Cyber Crime Team Recovers Rs 32.40 Lakh Cheated in Loan Fraud

The Surat Cyber Crime Team successfully recovered Rs 32.40 lakh that was fraudulently taken from a local businessman in a loan scam. The fraudsters lured the victim, Brijkishore Brahmanand Das, with promises of a loan of Rs 50 lakh without interest. Over two years, they siphoned off Rs 32.40 lakh on various pretexts, leaving the complainant hopeless of ever recovering the money.

However, the team's diligent efforts led to the recovery of the entire amount under the 'Tera Tujko Arpan' program. The program enables the police to return stolen money or resolve cases of theft, fraud, and looting by court order. The Cyber Crime Cell froze the accounts of the accused and worked towards the return of the funds, which were recently presented to the businessman through a check.

Surat Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Tomar congratulated the Cyber Crime Team on their hard work and success. The victim expressed his gratitude to the team, stating that he had given up hope of ever seeing his money again. However, with the help of the Cyber Crime Cell, he was able to recover the funds and felt grateful for their efforts.

The recovery of Rs 32.40 lakh is a significant milestone for the Surat Cyber Crime Team, as it demonstrates their commitment to combating cyber fraud and protecting the public from scammers.
