A 30-year-old man from Vijayawada was arrested by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) in connection with a large-scale cyber fraud involving multiple mule bank accounts that facilitated illegal transactions running into several crores of rupees.

The accused, identified as Vaddevalli Lalitha Saran Kumar, was taken into custody after he was intercepted at the Sonauli check post on the Indo-Nepal border near Gorakhpur while attempting to re-enter India from Nepal. A Look Out Circular had earlier been issued against him, following which he was brought to Hyderabad on a transit warrant and remanded to judicial custody. Two mobile phones were seized from him at the time of arrest.
