Police Bust Rs 1 Crore Cyber Fraud Operation

Abohar : Hanumangarh Police have uncovered a significant cyber fraud operation, arresting three individuals and seizing mobile phones, SIM cards, and a Scorpio car. The fraud, which amounts to approximately Rs 1 crore, involved over a dozen gang members, with the network spanning across 11 Indian states and international locations, including Cyprus, Australia, France, and Dubai.
Superintendent of Police Arshad Ali confirmed the arrests of Nitesh Meghwal (26) from Ellenabad, Divanshu Saharan (19) from Ganeshgarh, and Ankush Bishnoi (26) from Baranwali, Sriganganagar. Three other suspects—Sahil Jat from Sriganganagar, Amandeep from Ganeshgarh, and Rishabh Rahad from Rawatsar—are also linked to the case.
The gang’s modus operandi involved tricking victims into sharing sensitive information such as bank details, passbooks, ATM cards, cheque books, and SIM cards. The fraudsters, who were in contact with overseas cybercriminals, deposited funds into these accounts, which were then converted into cryptocurrency (USDT) and transferred abroad.
A thorough examination of the suspects’ mobile phones revealed chats, screenshots, and evidence of illegal transactions, with authorities tracing around Rs 1 crore in fraudulent activities across 26 registered cases in multiple states.
