New Delhi, February 27 The Delhi Police has arrested a 30-year-old cyber fraudster, alleged to be involved in multiple cases across states, for duping a city resident of Rs 6 lakh by posing as a KYC official, officials said on Friday.
Bimal Rabidas, a resident of Dhanbad in Jharkhand, was arrested in connection with an e-FIR registered earlier this month, they said.
"The case was registered on February 11 after Govind Singh (53), a resident of Brij Puri in Delhi, complained that he received a call from a person impersonating a bank employee," a senior police officer said.
The caller allegedly used the pretext of updating Singh's 'know your customer' (KYC) details to gain access to Singh's bank account information and obtained an instant loan of Rs 5,99,996 in his name, the officer said.
Rabidas confessed to the crime during interrogation, he added.
Police seized Rs 9,500 of the defrauded amount, three mobile phones and other incriminating documents from his possession.
Further investigation revealed that Rabidas was allegedly involved in five similar cases registered in Delhi, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.
