Mumbai: Two young women part of an online cyber fraud gang that calls people posing as bankers and duped them were nabbed from Ludhiana, Punjab. The team of Nagpada cyber cell on Thursday arrested Rina Nathu Prasad (30) and Kulvender Kaur Joginder Ram (32) from Ludhiana, Punjab, after their names cropped up for allegedly duping a Mumbai man of Rs 33,543 by tricking him into sharing his bank details on a fraudulent website.

Police said the incident took place on Dec 27 last year when the victim, Harin Varalia, received a phone call from an individual posing as a bank executive.
The caller convinced him to visit a fake website under the pretext of redeeming reward points on his credit card. Once the victim entered his personal banking details, the fraudsters used them to make a purchase worth Rs 33,543.
On realising that he was cheated, the victim contacted his bank and the cybercrime helpline (1930) to report the fraud.
