Indian police arrested Harshik Mukeshbhai Patel, a 26-year-old from Gujarat, for allegedly scamming a Kolkata resident out of ₹1.5 crore (~$180,000) in a crypto fraud. The victim, Aurobinda Maji, was lured through a fake cryptocurrency investment platform that promised 10–25% returns in days. Patel used multiple bank accounts to siphon funds, with investigators tracing over ₹2 lakh to his IDFC First Bank account, which was quickly withdrawn. The cybercrime unit seized key evidence during the arrest. Authorities believe Patel is part of a larger fraud network and are expanding their investigation to uncover additional accomplices involved in the crypto scam.
