The cyber wing of the Kochi City police arrested two persons who were allegedly involved in cheating people through a fake Parivahan application.
The accused, Uttar Pradesh natives Atul Kumar Singh, 32, and Manish Yadav, 24, reportedly sent fake files via WhatsApp and managed to make people believe that it was for enabling paying of fines for traffic-rule violations. The accused were arrested by the cyber police in an operation conducted at Varanasi after a Kochi resident submitted a complaint stating that he was duped of ₹85,000 through a fake Parivahan link.
On inspection of their phones, the police recovered information on over 2,700 vehicles from Kerala, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
