A cyber fraud accused from Achampet, Dongra Anirudh, has been given a month to surrender or face seizure of his house by Bihar police. The notice was pasted at his home on Saturday in connection with a Rs 2.32-crore investment fraud case.
Anirudh is alleged to be part of a network that lured victims via ads and phone calls promising high returns from an American company. One victim, Imran from Dhaka in Bihar, lost Rs 2.32 crore and filed a complaint in 2025. Bihar police have been investigating and previously questioned Anirudh's parents.
The police have also warned that a similar notice will be served at Anirudh's wife's residence in Aminabad. Anirudh faces multiple cyber fraud cases in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and other states.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is the latest instance of police using the CrPC provision that allows attachment of property to force an accused to appear, a power that has historically been used more against economic offenders than cyber-fraud suspects. The alleged fraud, promising high returns from an American company, mirrors the classic 'task-based investment' scam that has cost Indians thousands of crores in recent years. With the accused facing cases in at least four other states, the crucial development to watch is whether Anirudh surrenders within 30 days or forces a property seizure that would lead to his arrest and potential extradition to Bihar.
