Mumbai police have detained the mastermind behind a ₹2.2 crore fraud dubbed the ‘Boss Scam’, along with two alleged accomplices.
The Maharashtra police announced that the chief architect of a financial fraud totalling roughly ₹2.2 crore, known locally as the ‘Boss Scam’, was apprehended in Mumbai. The operation targeted the individual identified as the kingpin of the scheme, which had reportedly duped victims across the city.
Alongside the primary suspect, investigators also detained two persons believed to have assisted in executing the fraud. All three were taken into custody for further questioning and forensic examination of the evidence collected during the raid.
Police officials said the swift arrests were the result of a coordinated effort between the city’s cyber‑crime unit and financial crime investigators. The case underscores the continued focus of law‑enforcement agencies on large‑scale financial scams that affect ordinary citizens.
The accused are expected to appear before a Mumbai court in the coming days, where the prosecution will present details of the alleged ₹2.2 crore loss and the mechanisms used to carry out the deception.
