Gujarat Police Arrest Two Cyber Fraud Gangs Targeting Religious and Financial Scams

Gujarat Police Arrest Two Cyber Fraud Gangs Targeting Religious and Financial ScamsPreviousNext

Gujarat police arrested two men for running a cyber fraud network that created 126 fake websites impersonating hotels, dharamshalas, and ashrams across 11 states, targeting nearly 22,000 victims. The gang used AI-generated images and technical expertise to make the sites appear genuine, collecting advance payments for bookings and religious services. Separately, Ahmedabad police arrested two suspects in a Rs 75 lakh angadia scam involving the fraudulent use of a bullion industry figure's identity to deceive a Hyderabad man. Both cases highlight growing online fraud risks.
