The probe into the online money swindling case in which a Lakeshore doctor was cheated by online racketeers, has reached a dead end as the cops have failed to recover the amount lost.
Despite forming a special investigation team to crack the case, the cops are yet to track down the mastermind behind the racket.
In a case that shook the state, Dr R. Shabbir Khan of Lakeshore hospital was cheated by online racketeers, who swiped off Rs 11.14 lakh from his Axis Bank account.
Police had said that one Antony, a Nigerian, had been the one who had masterminded the entire operation.
The last person to be arrested by the police was one Felix Ivdubuisi Egedigave, a Nigerian, who had been serving a term in the Alipore Presidency Jail in Kolkata, in connection with another fraud. But, the team is yet to get a clue as to where the money has gone.
The investigating officers had earlier hinted that the money may have been transferred by the racketeers to anti-social organisations including terror outfits. But this was also not confirmed as police had failed to get any evidence about this.
