Rs1 Crore Cyber Fraud Uncovered in Jaisalmer 3 Arrested

Elderly couple from Sriganganagar targeted by CBI impersonators

by Ananya Mehta

A significant cyber fraud, amounting to Rs1.05 crore, has been uncovered in Jaisalmer, where fraudsters targeted an elderly couple from Village 22 ML, Sriganganagar district. Three suspects have been arrested by the cyber police, with two of them from Jaipur and one from Dausa. The individuals are currently under a three-day remand, as the police continue to investigate the money trail that led to their accounts.

The victim, Jaswinder Kaur, filed a complaint on November 18 on behalf of her husband, Sohan Singh, who is 69 years old. The couple received a video call from an unknown individual claiming to be a CBI officer. The caller threatened them with legal action and imprisonment over alleged errors in bank deposits. Under pressure and fearing legal consequences, Sohan Singh transferred Rs1.05 crore to the fraudster’s account.

The investigation, led by SHO and DSP Kuldeep Walia, involved technical analysis that helped trace the money trail. The fraud was linked to around 150 accounts, ultimately leading investigators to accounts in Sanganer, Jaipur.

Following the investigation, Kishan Singh Rajawat from Mahariya village, Dausa district (currently residing in Narayan Vihar, Sanganer) was arrested. Mohit Soni from Laxmi Colony, and Ajay Prajapat from Sundar Nagar, both residents of Sanganer, were also arrested. The authorities are continuing their efforts to track down the primary perpetrators behind the scam.

The police believe that this is part of a larger network, and the investigation is ongoing to identify more suspects and victims involved in the scheme.
