Three accused have been apprehended in Assam in connection with a cyber fraud case registered at Moirabari Police Station, officials said.
The arrested persons have been identified as Mukter Hussain (33), a resident of Hatimuria in Morigaon; Baharul Islam (49), a resident of Lengribori in Morigaon; and Mustak Ahmed, also known as Anarul, a resident of Dhing.
According to police, the arrests were made in connection with a case registered at Moirabari Police Station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, read with Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the Information Technology Act.
