Kolkata: A businessman in Khardah dealing in antiques was arrested by Bidhannagar police for allegedly siphoning off Rs 3.2 crore from the bank account of a Chennai-based businessman on Monday night.
The officers of Bidhannagar cyber crime cell arrested the accused, Samiran Saha (33), following the complaint lodged by the regional manager of a private bank. Saha was produced in a Salt Lake court on Tuesday, which remanded him in six-day police custody.
Saha had somehow got hold of the account details and other credentials of Chennai’s Gopalpuram resident, Jayshree Shekhar and faked his identity while approaching the Teghoria branch of the private bank. He managed to get the mobile number and e-mail ID, linked with the account, changed and registered his own cellphone number with a mobile banking app.
