Two persons in custody for alleged cyber fraud

The Thrikkakara police took two persons into custody from New Delhi on Monday in connection with an alleged ₹96-lakh cyber fraud. The duo reportedly cheated the manager of a Thrikkarkara-based firm of the sum after falsely informing him that the phone number of the firm’s managing director had changed. Later, the manager was reportedly made to transfer ₹96 lakh to the said phone number, by making him believe that the managing director wanted the money transferred to him.
