The accused, identified as Isaki Rajan Thevar, is a resident of Vashi and originally hails from Tamil Nadu. He was arrested on Thursday following a complaint filed by a bank employee from Mahalunge, who fell victim to one of the scam apps between June 1l and June 22, 2025.

According to the police, the victim received a WhatsApp link for a loan app called Credit Pilot. Upon clicking the link, the app reportedly gained un authorised access to her mobile device and misused her personal documents to approve a fraudulent loan.
