Hindustan Times, Chandigarh | ByHT Correspondent, Patiala

Police on Thursday arrested two more men from Mandi Gobindgarh town in Fatehgarh
Sahib district in a cyber crime case in which Preneet Kaur, Patiala MP and wife
of Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh, was duped of ₹23 lakh.



Another accused, Attaul Ansari, had been brought on transit remand from Ranchi
police on Wednesday. The men held on Thursday are brothers -Afsar Ali and Noor
Ali. A local court remanded all three to eight-day police custody on Thursday.
Police said the amount was transferred in 28 e-wallets and accounts of Spice
India Company, Gurugram, from Preneet’s State Bank of India account in 23
transactions. The company was only the service provider and had no connection
with the fraud.

‘Committing fraud for 4 years’

SSP Mandeep Singh Sidhu said 693 SIM (subscriber identification module) cards
and 19 mobile phones have been recovered from the accused. “During preliminary
investigation, they confessed that they had been committing online frauds for
the past four years. The accused also confessed that they were not aware of the
fact that they had duped a parliamentarian this time,” the SSP added.




The police have also frozen the e-wallet accounts into which the money was
transferred from the MP’s account. The MP got to know that ₹23 lakh had been
deducted from her State Bank of India (SBI) account on July 29.

“The accused had called the Patiala MP multiple times from July 24-26. We are
looking for the kingpin of the gang and would grill the accused,” the SSP added.
 

Registered mobile number with bank changed

Sidhu added that one of the accused introduced himself as a State Bank of India
(SBI) manager and told the MP that he needed her account details to deposit
pending arrears and some salary component, besides upgrading her ATM card.

Police claim Preneet shared her bank account number, the ATM card number, even
the CVV (the card’s security code) and also the OTP (one-time password) received
on her phone, with the accused. “The accused Ansari changed the registered
mobile number with his number in the MP’s bank account and made 23 different
transactions from July 26-29. The Patiala MP came to know about only when she
contacted her bank branch for checking her account details,” the SSP added.



CIA in-charge Shaminder Singh said the accused Afsar was maintaining 48
e-wallets as a front and offering services such as depositing electricity bills,
online shopping and online recharges. The gang also forged documents such as
Aadhaar cards, the PAN card and other documents to open bank accounts and
e-wallets. The accused have been booked under sections 420 (cheating) of the IPC
Act and under other sections of the Information Technology (IT) Act.
