In a major breakthrough, Bengaluru police have arrested Mayank Kadian, the alleged mastermind behind a sophisticated Rs 4-crore cyber and financial fraud. Kadian was captured from his residence in Mohali after a months-long manhunt.
Officials said Kadian had been on the run for nearly five to six months, frequently changing locations across Uttar Pradesh, Karnal, Bengaluru, and Chandigarh to evade arrest. His movements had complicated efforts by law enforcement, who eventually tracked him down through coordinated surveillance.
The investigation revealed that since 2023, Mayank Kadian, along with his sister Garima Kadian and her husband Sachin Tomar, orchestrated a fraud operation targeting a reputed Bengaluru-based business group. The trio allegedly siphoned off over Rs 4 crore through deceptive means and misused business relationships and digital platforms.
Police described the operation as a well-structured and high-profile fraud network, implicating not just the main trio but also six to seven additional associates named in the FIR. Garima and Sachin were previously arrested in connection with the same case.
Authorities are continuing their probe to uncover the full extent of the network and recover the misappropriated funds.
