Raipur Police recently unearthed a massive cybercrime fraud worth Rs429 crore with international ties to China and Thailand. The breakthrough came after the arrest of two individuals, Sandeep Ratra and Rajveer Singh, who were detained on Wednesday.
Raipur Range IG Amresh Mishra stated that the arrests followed an investigation based on the information provided by two previously arrested suspects, Pawan Kumar and Gagan Vikaspuri. These suspects revealed how funds collected through cybercrime activities were being sent to foreign countries.
The two newly arrested individuals, Sandeep Ratra, a resident of Jain Park in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, and Rajveer Singh, hailing from Hirapur in Raipur, were apprehended at Progressive Point in Lalpur, Raipur. During the search, police seized important documents linked to the cybercrime operation, including fraudulent company records and a forex trading bank account.
The suspects had created a fake company named Croma Shipping and Logistics, using a falsified address for their Aadhaar cards. The operation involved using bank accounts at Indian Overseas Bank, State Bank of India, and Union Bank to transfer large sums of money, which was then sent to China and Thailand under the guise of forex trading.
Investigations continue as police delve deeper into the illicit operation, with plans to track further financial dealings linked to this global scam.
