In a recent development, the Hyderabad Cybercrime Police arrested three individuals from Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh for their involvement in a digital arrest fraud case. The accused, Thota Srinivasa Rao (59), Lam Jeevankumar (38), and Tammishetty Raghuveer (40), were involved in a sophisticated scam that targeted victims across India.

The accused would impersonate government officials, including police officers, and target victims, threatening them with false cases and arrests. They would then coerce the victims into transferring large sums of money to the accused's bank accounts. The police have advised citizens to be cautious when receiving calls from unknown numbers making such claims.

The Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police have also seized several items from the accused, including mobile phones, cheque books, bank passbooks, debit and credit cards, PAN cards, and receipt books.

In a separate case on March 27, the Hyderabad Police's Cyber Crime Unit successfully refunded Rs 9,50,531 to a businessman who fell victim to an online business fraud. The unit has launched several advisories for citizens to verify authenticity and research companies and individuals offering business deals.
