Codenamed after the show’s iconic characters, they robbed the digital vaults of unsuspecting investors across India. “Professor” wasn’t a fictional genius in a red jumpsuit—he was Arpit Mishra, a practicing advocate from Jaipur who allegedly masterminded the syndicate worth around ₹150 crore.

Police say, to date, they have linked more than 12 fraud cases amounting to ₹30 crore.
