Cuttack: The Odisha Crime Branch has arrested a 29-year-old man from West Bengal in connection with a major online gaming fraud case involving over ₹1.08 crore. This is the third arrest made in the case.

According to a press release issued by the Crime Branch, a complaint was earlier lodged by a victim who alleged that he was duped by cyber fraudsters under the pretext of making profits through an online gaming and trading platform. The fraudsters lured him into investing large sums, convincing him that he could earn high returns.

Despite initial losses, he was persuaded to deposit more money. When he later tried to withdraw his earnings, the fraudsters demanded additional payments and ultimately refused to release his funds. Realising the scam, the victim filed a complaint.
