Two other accused linked to the cyber fraud case had already been arrested earlier, they added.“The fraud took place on April 10 when scammers contacted a Noida resident while posing as officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Pune. The fraudsters allegedly claimed that the bank accounts linked to the victim’s Aadhaar card were being used for terror funding and threatened him with arrest and legal action,” said Noida police in a statement.Police said the suspects also sent fake Reserve Bank of India (RBI) letters and forged arrest warrants through WhatsApp to pressure the victim.

Efforts are underway to nab their other gang members, added police.Police have again warned people against “digital arrest” scams, saying agencies such as police, CBI, ED and NIA never conduct arrests through phone or video calls.
