The Bengaluru police recently dismantled a cyber fraudster ring operating out of Mysuru. The group was involved in scamming people through social media platforms, utilizing various tactics to deceive victims into giving up sensitive information.
A total of seven individuals have been arrested in connection with the fraud operation. Among those arrested were Azharuddin, Shashikumar, Syed Danish, Imtiaz, and Asif, along with others. The authorities recovered several pieces of evidence during their raid, including nine mobile phones, 11 bank passbooks, 31 ATM cards, and nine Aadhar cards, all believed to have been obtained through fraudulent activities.
The arrests followed extensive investigations by Bengaluru’s police department, which received numerous complaints from individuals who had fallen victim to scams conducted via social media. The police are continuing their investigation to identify and arrest any additional members of the ring involved in these illicit activities.
The Bengaluru police have warned the public to be cautious while engaging on social media platforms and to avoid sharing personal or financial information with unverified sources. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
