In a significant operation against cybercrime, the Director General of Police, CID Crime and Railways, Mr. Rajkumar Pandiyan, has instructed strong measures in tackling the growing issue. Under the leadership of Inspector General of Police Crime-1, Mr. Sanjay Kharat, and Police Superintendents Mr. Dharmendra Sharma and Mr. Bhartasang Tank, a special team led by Police Inspector Mr. B.M. Choudhary successfully arrested an accused in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The operation began after thorough analysis of information from ongoing investigations, leading to the identification of a suspect mobile number linked to fraudulent activity. Open-source checks revealed the name Premraj Unfreeze USDT, and further verification through bank details led to the arrest of Premraj Rajapandi at his Chennai residence.
Premraj’s arrest was followed by the identification of an accomplice, Vimalraj Rajgopal, whose arrest is still pending. During the investigation, the authorities seized numerous items from Premraj’s residence, including four mobile phones, 10 cheque books, two passbooks, one Apple MacBook Air, several ATM cards, a crypto wallet, and various other financial documents.
This cybercrime bust highlights the police’s commitment to cracking down on digital fraud, with authorities working tirelessly to trace and apprehend further suspects involved in the illegal activities.
Additionally, a related arrest was made on October 23, when Jose Kutty Pappachan (55), from Ernakulam, Kerala, was arrested and handed over to the Surathkal Police for further legal proceedings.
The operation continues as police efforts are directed at dismantling the network of fraudsters responsible for these cybercrimes.
