The arrested individuals have been identified as Adnan Shamshuddin Khan (27), a real estate agent residing at JP North Celeste, Vinay Nagar, Kashimira, and Mohammed Tanveer Mohammed Imtiyaz Khan (31), a salaried employee residing at Gulshan Housing Society, Ram Mandir Station Road, Goregaon West.
The complainant was initially coerced into transferring ₹70 lakh on March 21, 2025, to an IndusInd Bank account. Further investigations revealed that ₹4.89 lakh was diverted on February 13, 2025, to another bank account. The money was subsequently withdrawn in cash through cheques by the account holder, Adnan Khan, who was traced and arrested from the Kashimira area.
In another instance, the complainant was pressured into transferring ₹19 lakh via four transactions on March 21, 2025, to another bank account. This amount was routed through multiple accounts, and the account was found to be in the name of CWFS Private Ltd., with its directors listed as Mohammed Tanveer Mohammed Imtiyaz Khan and Mohammed Sayed Mansoor Munawwar Ali.
Upon verification, the police discovered that no such company was operating at the registered address in Goregaon West. Tanveer was later located in the Goregaon area, taken into custody, and formally arrested. The investigation is ongoing, and the South Region Cyber Police Station is exploring further links to ensure a thorough and comprehensive probe.
The arrests are a significant step in combating financial fraud and protecting investors from such schemes. The South Region Cyber Police have been proactive in their efforts to trace and apprehend individuals involved in cyber crimes and financial fraud. The public is advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities immediately.
The case highlights the importance of due diligence and caution when dealing with financial transactions, especially in the stock market.
