Tech firm duped of ₹5.56 crore in cyber training scam
Hyderabad Central Crime Station (CCS) registered a case against Kondamudi Venkata Naga Prameel Arjun on charges of cheating, impersonation, forgery and criminal deception after a city based technology company alleged he duped it of over ₹5.56 crore through a fraudulent cybersecurity training scheme.
According to the FIR, the accused introduced himself in January 2024 as director of the National Information and Cyber Security Council (NICC), claiming it was a premier institution under the Union ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY). The company said he used brochures, public speeches, website content and photographs with national leaders to project NICC as a government backed entity.
He allegedly promised to establish centres of excellence, provide 2,000 cybersecurity training logins and secure government grants worth ₹2 crore for laboratories. Believing the claims, the company transferred ₹5.56 crore to accounts specified by him and spent nearly ₹3 crore on setting up training centres and infrastructure.
The FIR stated that he failed to deliver training programmes, login credentials or grants despite repeated assurances. He allegedly reimbursed certain marketing expenses to maintain legitimacy while avoiding refund demands.
The complainant later verified his claims through an RTI with MeitY, which denied any association with NICC. The complaint further alleged that he falsely projected links with government agencies and senior constitutional authorities to gain credibility and induce investments.
CCS has taken up the investigation.
