In a significant development, Rourkela police on Saturday arrested Devendra Pratap Mourya, a key member of the Cambodia-based international cyber crime racket from Uttar Pradesh.
Rourkela SP Nitesh Wadhwani said Mourya was arrested in connection with the cyber fraud case registered in Rourkela in December last year when a senior central government officer had lost ₹67.70 lakh in an investment scam. The victim had fallen prey to a fake trading app INDIRA Securities claiming to be a genuine registered entity of SEBI.
The arrest was made following a look-out circular issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs. According to the JCCT Management Information System (JMIC) of the MHA, Mourya is linked to over 500 cyber crimes across India.
