The Bhuj Local Crime Branch (LCB) in Kutch district made significant progress in uncovering a nationwide cyber fraud operation on Sunday. Two key members of the gang were arrested, identified as Shishpal alias Subhash Dhanaram (31) and Govindram alias Govardhanram Bishnoi (31), both hailing from Jodhpur district in Rajasthan.
During the operation, police seized a variety of incriminating items, including 42 debit cards, 26 passbooks, 47 cheque books, and electronic devices. Additionally, several forged documents were recovered, such as Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, and fraudulent agreements. These materials were used to deceive various financial institutions.
According to Bhuj LCB Inspector SN Chudasama, the arrested individuals masterminded the creation of fake identity documents such as PAN and Aadhaar cards, which enabled them to open multiple bank accounts. These accounts were later used to transfer and launder illegally obtained funds from victims across different states. The stolen funds were withdrawn using cheques from these fabricated accounts.
The investigation is ongoing, and the police are now working to uncover the full extent of this cyber fraud network.
