₹6.80 Lakh Duped Through Fake Online Job Offer: Three Youths from Thrissur Arrested in Coimbatore

Three youths from Thrissur were arrested in Coimbatore in connection with a major cyber fraud case, revealing the deceit behind what appeared to be a popular online job offer. The victim was contacted via Telegram by someone claiming to represent 'K Raheja Group'. The offer promised daily incentives ranging from ₹900 to ₹2,500, which immediately caught the attention of the young man. He was told that by promoting certain projects, he would receive bonuses and commissions. Eventually, he was convinced to invest more money, leading to a total loss of ₹6.80 lakh.

The investigation revealed that the money was transferred to 16 different bank accounts. These accounts were opened by the accused—Anandhu Krishna, T.S. Vishnu, and P.S. Sujith from Thrissur—as well as people known to them. Police said each account fetched them around ₹20,000 and a 2% commission on the transactions. The account details were passed on to a man named "Sahit," who in turn relayed them to cyber fraudsters.

Now, the trio faces charges under the Indian IT Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (Indian Penal Code). Once again, it proves that what seems like a golden opportunity is not always genuine. Never fall for job offers made through Telegram, WhatsApp, or other unverified sources. Keep your bank details and identity documents secure. The cyber world is not a place to trust blindly.

A little caution is enough to stop a dream promised for tomorrow from turning into a nightmare.
