Police in Jaipur have arrested three cybercriminals for allegedly cheating a man of Rs95.50 lakh under the guise of investing in cryptocurrency.
Jaipur South DCP Rajarshi Raj said the complainant, a resident of Jotdawala in Sanganer, reported that he had been approached through social media and persuaded to invest in USDT (a cryptocurrency). Trusting the offer, the victim deposited a total of Rs95.50 lakh in multiple transactions.
Based on the complaint, Sanganer Sadar police registered a case and launched an investigation. The inquiry led to the arrest of Jitendra Kumar of Sahanpuri (Alwar), Abhishek Gurjar of Mohana Ki Dhani (Jaipur), and Nahid Khan of Jhotwara (Jaipur).
During the probe, the police—led by Station Officer Anil Jaiman—examined the bank accounts where the money had been deposited. One of the key accounts was an Indian Overseas Bank account registered in the name of Jitendra Kumar.
During questioning, Jitendra revealed that he had sold his bank account to Abhishek Gurjar and Nahid Khan. Investigators found that the fraudulent funds were routed through this account, and both accomplices benefited from the transactions.
Police said further investigation is underway to uncover additional links, recover the remaining money, and trace the larger network behind the scam.
