A suspect has been arrested by the North Western Provincial Sub-Unit of the Computer Crime Investigation Division for online fraud involving Rs. 6.86 million. The arrest came after a complaint was filed against the suspect, who allegedly tricked the complainant into sending money by falsely claiming that online earnings were possible. The investigation showed that the complainant lost Rs. 6,860,000 after joining a Telegram group. The suspect, a 31-year-old man from Welipenna, also transferred Rs. 500,000 of the stolen money to his own bank account.
