Varanasi Cyber Police have arrested Nizam Ahmed, the mastermind behind an international fraud syndicate linked to a Chinese gang. The gang posed as officials from TRAI and the CBI, digitally “arresting” victims and extorting large sums of money. The racket came to light after a victim was defrauded of Rs98 lakh.
Ahmed was arrested along with ten other individuals who were part of the gang’s operation. The fraudsters employed sophisticated tactics to deceive victims, threatening them with fabricated legal consequences to extort money. Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, working to dismantle the network and prevent further victimization.
