A person who has been arrested in Kolkata, for alleged hacking and withdrawing Rs 10 lakh from the bank account of former Test cricketer VVS Laxman, has been brought to the city on Thursday, said a senior police official.
“Izazul Sheikh was brought to the city last night by a special Cyberabad Police team from Kolkata on a seven-day transit warrant and is being interrogated,” said, G Janaki Sharmila, Additional DCP (Crime), Cyberabad.
“He (Sheikh) will be produced before a local court on Friday after the transit period ends. We will seek his police custody for further interrogation,” she added.
Sheikh, a resident of Malda, West Bengal, was arrested on January 31 by Kolkata Police for allegedly siphoning off Rs 10 lakh from the bank account of Laxman (at SR Nagar) through net banking.
The Cyberabad Police suspect that Sheikh must have opened the email account of Laxman and could have sent a mail to the bank, urging the manager to transfer Rs 10 lakh to an account opened at a nationalised bank in Salt Lake, in the name of Galaxy Enterprises, which did not exist.
Believing that the mail was from Laxman, the bank transferred the money.
However, the manager of the bank at Kolkata alerted the police as such a huge amount was never deposited in the account earlier. Meanwhile, Laxman also received an SMS on the transfer of money. Subsequently Sheikh was arrested.
