Madhya Pradesh Cyber Cell has recently arrested three people
For hacking the server of a private money transfer company and embezzling Rs 2.01 crore from bank accounts in a year.
The three accused are Rohit Rathore, Rafiq Paik, and Shamshad Khan.
Police said that Rathore, a resident of Dahisar and a B.Com graduate, was the mastermind of the crime. During the year Rathod worked, the private company he worked for, around 3,000 transactions
were made, money boiled over, sometimes in his own account and sometimes in the co-accused's account. Police said they also paid him a commission after transferring money to Pakistan and Khan's accounts.
Scrutiny of the company's full-year balance sheet revealed malpractices of over Rs 2 crore, following which a police complaint was filed and three people were arrested.
Rathore and Payak were produced in court on Thursday and remanded to five-day police custody. The arrested accused Khan has been admitted to the hospital after being positive for Covid-19.
During the appearance of the accused, the police told the court that he hacked the bank account of Rathore's company and transferred it to the account of his co-accused. Police told the court that as soon as Rathore transferred money to someone's account, it was immediately withdrawn from the ATM. Rathore used to transfer Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 to avoid any doubts.
He said, 'Rathore has similarly transferred money in the accounts of 10 to 12 people. It is not yet known what happened to the Rs 2 crore taken from the company.
A similar case of cheating was registered against Rathore at Malad police station two years ago.
