Police Arrest Multiple Suspects in Large-Scale Cyber Fraud Networks Across IndiaPreviousNext

Police in Mumbai, Kanpur, and Indore have arrested multiple individuals linked to large cyber fraud networks involving transactions ranging from around Rs 2 crore to Rs 5,600 crore. The accused allegedly supplied or rented mule bank accounts and SIM cards to facilitate fraudulent activities, including investment scams, online gaming fraud, and hawala transactions. Investigations revealed numerous complaints on national cybercrime portals and complex money trails routed through fake firms and multiple bank accounts across several states. Authorities continue probing to identify additional suspects and dismantle these networks.
