The Cyber Crime Police Station of Ghaziabad Police Commissionerate has successfully dismantled an inter-state fraud syndicate that exploited loopholes in the Real11 Gaming App, stealing a massive Rs 1.01 crore.
The authorities arrested three accused and seized crucial evidence, including checkbooks, passbooks, ATMs, and mobile phones. Additionally, Rs 25 lakh has been frozen as part of the ongoing investigation.
Between July 17, 2024, and November 18, 2024, the fraudsters infiltrated the Real11 Gaming App by creating fake user IDs and wallets. Initially, they deposited small sums to appear legitimate within the system. Subsequently, they used sophisticated hacking techniques to manipulate the platform’s payment gateway, inflating their wallet balances with non-existent funds. The criminals then withdrew Rs 1,01,14,095 from the app in multiple transactions under the guise of legitimate activities.
The fraud came to light when Amit Yadav, a company representative, filed a formal complaint on November 27, 2024, at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Ghaziabad.
After tracking digital footprints and intelligence, the police team traced the suspects to Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad, and arrested:
Deshraj from Fatehpur, Barabanki (UP)
Abhishek Kumar from Fatehpur, Barabanki (UP)
Aakash from Fatehpur, Barabanki (UP)
During the arrest, police recovered multiple checkbooks, passbooks, ATMs, and mobile phones used to carry out the fraud. The investigation continues as authorities look into the full extent of the syndicate’s activities.
