In a major crackdown on cybercrime, Udaipur’s Sukher Police have arrested three key members of a gang involved in renting out bank accounts for fraudulent transactions, linked to a Rs6 crore cyber fraud case.
The operation was part of an ongoing anti-cybercrime drive led by Udaipur SP Yogesh Goyal, with Additional SP (City) Umesh Ojha and Circle Officer (West) Kailash Chandra supervising. The investigation was spearheaded by Sukher SHO Ravindra Charan and his team using technical surveillance and intelligence inputs.
The case emerged when Kailashchandra Dangi, a businessman from Maharaj Khedi (Dubok) and owner of Devaraj Enterprises, filed an FIR on November 14, 2024, alleging he was tricked into sharing his firm’s bank account under the pretense of participating in profitable construction contracts in Dubai and the Middle East.
Dangi was introduced to the accused by Kalulal Dangi of Banoda (Salumber), who connected him with Himanshu (Titaradi) and Gaurav Teli from Ahmedabad. Over ten days in May 2024, the gang allegedly used Dangi’s firm account to facilitate Rs6 crore in suspicious transactions.
The situation escalated when Dangi withdrew Rs5 lakh for his son’s treatment. Minutes later, a car arrived, and several men forcibly took the money, assaulted Dangi, and threatened him. Subsequently, he was coerced into withdrawing an additional Rs10 lakh and arranging another Rs5 lakh from friends, all extorted by the gang.
Following the investigation, Sukher Police arrested:
Kalulal, son of Mawa, Banoda, Salumber
Prince, son of Anil, Gandhi Chowk, Surajpol Road, Salumber
Himanshu, son of Dinesh Kumar, Chungi Naka, Salumber
Police stated that the gang is part of a larger network providing rented bank accounts for cyber fraud, often targeting unsuspecting entrepreneurs. More arrests are expected as the investigation continues, with links to digital fraud, identity theft, and extortion being probed.
