Hyderabad: 4 Arrested for Duping Pharma Firm Owner of Rs 87 Lakh
Hyderabad, June 17: Cyber Crimes Unit of Hyderabad arrested four people from Mumbai including a Nigerian national for allegedly cheating a pharmaceutical researcher and manufacturer of Rs. lakhs, said the police.
The accused have been identified as Vincent Ibhaduwede (37), Shakil (34), and Safiullah Khan (53). A case was registered under the Indian Penal Code, added the police.
The main accused, Christopher, absconding, was the kingpin posing as ‘Dr. Arthur Villiams’ of Lexo Pharm Company of the US. Christopher emailed the complaint, to a pharma researcher and manufacturer from Tarnaka in February 2023, proposing a business opportunity involving the supply of 2,000 packets of ‘cissus populnea (used to treat venereal, stomach, and skin infections) stems each month, as per the police.
The complaint was believed by the officer to be genuine. To establish credibility, the complaint was initially asked to purchase three packets of Cissus Populnea stems as a sample from a fictitious supplier, Minka Sharma, for which he transferred 1.4 lakh into the bank account of a fictitious company, Siya Enterprises, linked to Monkia. These samples were handed over to a Delhi-based African national, Danny.
Fraudsters then persuaded the complainant to make a payment of 87 lakh into Siya Enterprises between March and May 2023 for the 2,000 packets. The amount was withdrawn by Shakil and Mishra and handed to Vincent who sent it to Christopher. Saifullah created a bank account under Siya Enterprises using forged documents.
As the accused stopped responding to messages and emails, the pharma firm owner lodged a police complaint on May 16.
