Ajmer Police have made significant progress in cracking a cyber fraud case, arresting four more individuals involved in the operation. With these latest arrests, the total number of individuals arrested in the case rises to eight. The District Superintendent of Police, Vandita Rana, confirmed that the four additional arrests followed detailed interrogations of the previously arrested suspects.
The newly arrested individuals have been identified as Lalit Singh Rao, Shubham Singh Rajput, Harshit Singh Hada, and Shubham Khatik, all of whom are between the ages of 20 and 23 and are residents of Bhilwara district.
Initially, four individuals—Prithvi Singh, Gauri Shankar, Shanu alias Ronnie, and Pawan Singh—were arrested. Based on information obtained from these suspects, the remaining four were apprehended. These individuals were involved in renting out bank accounts, which were later used in fraudulent activities.
According to the police, the gang operated in a chain-like manner. The henchmen would rent out bank accounts for a fee ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 rupees, along with linked phone numbers. These accounts would then be sold for lakhs of rupees, and subsequently used in cyber fraud activities.
Further investigation revealed that the gang targeted savings, current, and cooperative bank accounts, exploiting different account limits to conduct fraud. The police have obtained information on numerous bank accounts involved in the cybercrime, and many of these accounts have already been frozen.
It has also come to light that the gang operated across several towns in Rajasthan, opening accounts in different banks to facilitate their illegal activities. These accounts were used to transfer illicit funds from one location to another. The gang is believed to have been active across the entire state, and police continue their efforts to trace the full extent of the operation.
Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are working to uncover additional details of the gang’s activities.
