''The branch had started investigating and found that the domain name and number of the broadband service's user belonged to Ludhiana. He immediately contacted us and we also started an inquiry into the matter. Our investigation led us to Amanpreet,'' Bhanot said.
Informing that the accused is a computer professional, Bhanot added it seems like the accused used to download songs and games for commercial use.
The Coimbatore vigilance had also contacted Ludhiana police and cops have started investigations.
Initially they got in touch with the family and asked them to pay up whatever amount Amanpreet had fleeced from BSNL. ''The family members asked for forgiveness but were not willing to pay the money,'' Bhanot said.
Division no 5 police station house officer Naveen Kumar confirmed that they have started investigating the case. ''The accused is absconding but we will nab him soon,'' he said.
