Cyber police Bhopal has arrested three fraudsters from a call center based in Mumbai. The accused used to charge interest up to 40 percent by giving loans through online apps. Not only this, even after receiving the amount, they used to hack the mobile data and send edited obscene photos of the loan takers to their close relatives and demand money from them also.

Recently, fraudsters also committed a similar incident with a policeman. Tortured him for several days. Extorted up to Rs 14 lakh by blackmailing. Whose complaint was lodged in Cyber Crime Branch, Bhopal and while investigating this matter, the police had reached the accused.

To repay this, money had to be taken from different online apps.

To repay the loan through an online app, Sudhesh took many online loans and kept falling into the trap of fraudsters. He has given Rs 14 lakh against the loan of Rs 50000. Despite this, online app users are editing the photos and creating obscene photos and sending them to family members and people in the mobile contact list.
