32 cases nationwide and 3 in Telangana against Rithika, the real estate broker from Kompally, also an accused in a case in Hyderabad, where the victim was blackmailed and forced to transfer money to an account the culprits had access to.
The defendant, Rithika, knew Suresh from Chennai and was supplying bank accounts, getting a 10% commission for each transaction. To get these accounts, she turned to Thota Srinivasa Rao, a physiotherapist from Guntur, who got them from Jeevan Kumar and T. Raghuveer, who run NGOs for the blind and the elderly.
Police arrested Thota Srinivasa Rao, Jeevan Kumar, and T Raghuveer on March 25, and Rithika followed, on March 29, with a judicial remand.
This case highlights the sophistication and complexity of modern cybercrime, where innocent and vulnerable individuals are often manipulated to serve as vessels for fraudulent activities.
