Srinagar, Jan 4 (PTI) A Nigerian national is under the
scanner of Jammu and Kashmir Police while four other persons
have been arrested in the first case of cyber bank fraud in
the Kashmir Valley.
Four persons, including two residents of Mumbai, were
arrested last week in connection with a case of bank fraud
caused by cyber hacking, in which Rs 3.25 lakh were swindled
from three accounts in Kashmir.
“It is the first case of its kind in the Valley. The
first cyber related bank fraud case carried out in Kashmir by
using tampered credit cards which are cloned and linked,”
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar, Ashiq Bukhari
told reporters here.
The case could lead to a breakthrough in busting a
“huge nexus involved in bank frauds across the country or may
be outside the country,” he said.
