In a swift early morning operation, the Uttara Kannada Cyber Economic and Narcotics (CEN) police arrested a former cyber slave-turned-cyber fraudster at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru on Friday.
The accused has been identified as Shah Alam, 23, a resident of Bihar. The police managed to track him down using only one lead — his name.
Investigators scanned all Bengaluru-bound flights from various cities across India and made a calculated guess about his possible travel route. Their intuition paid off when Alam was detained upon his arrival from Delhi.
This strategic arrest highlights the growing precision of cybercrime investigations and the determination of Karnataka’s cyber police in cracking complex online fraud cases.
