The Cyber Cell of Bharatpur range arrested Devendra Pal Singh, an active member of a gang involved in a massive cyber fraud worth over Rs400 crore. The gang duped common citizens through fake online games and e-commerce platforms, exploiting cutting-edge technology and shell companies.
Police revealed that Devendra, a childhood friend of the gang leader Shashikant Singh, played a crucial role in the network. The gang operated across multiple states including Rajasthan, targeting financially weak individuals by registering fake companies in their names and conducting fraudulent transactions through these fronts.
The investigation began after Hari Singh filed a complaint on March 6 regarding fraud linked to Fino Payment Bank. Analysis by the Dholpur cyber police revealed nearly 3,000 similar complaints.
The case was assigned to Police Inspector Mahendra Singh, who formed a special team including Assistant Sub Inspector Dinesh Kumar and Head Constable Jitendra Singh. The probe uncovered that Shashikant and his associate Rohit Dubey had founded Abundance Payment Solution Private Limited (TriPay) in Bengaluru, operating as an intermediary charging minimal commission but facilitating massive fraud.
Devendra, based in Bamrauli, Uttar Pradesh, was responsible for preparing fraudulent documents, registering fake companies, and managing payout systems, enabling the gang’s extensive cybercrime activities.
