Over 100 crore cyber fraud racket busted in Rajasthan’s Alwar; six held
Rajasthan Police Busts Major Cybercrime Racket in Alwar: Over Rs 100 Crore in Online Frauds Exposed
In a big win for Rajasthan Police, officers in Alwar district have smashed a huge cybercrime network under Operation Cyber Sangram. This gang helped online fraudsters launder more than Rs 100 crore through fake bank accounts. Authorities arrested six people, including the key player Sanjay Arora, who ran the show.
The bust targets a growing problem of cyber frauds in India, like sextortion scams, fake online shopping deals, and bogus digital payments. Alwar’s Superintendent of Police, Sudhir Chaudhary, kicked off the operation after complaints poured in from victims across the region.
A sharp team from Vaishali Nagar Police Station, headed by SHO Gurudutt Saini, dug deep into the case. They teamed up with the Alwar Cyclone Cell to uncover the plot. Their probe zeroed in on a shady bank account tied to a made-up company called Laxmi Enterprises. This account handled Rs 41 crore in dirty money, with over Rs 2 crore directly linked to 101 cybercrime complaints.
When police grilled the suspects, they spilled the beans. The gang set up phony firms and opened current accounts in their names. Then, they sold these "mule accounts" to cybercriminal groups for quick cash transfers. The idea? Move the loot fast before banks could spot and freeze the accounts.
These crooks didn’t stop there. They handed over full banking details to fraudsters—think account numbers, IFSC codes, internet banking logins, and even linked mobile numbers. They coordinated everything on secure apps like WhatsApp and Telegram to stay under the radar.
Raids turned up solid proof: checkbooks, ATM cards, signed cheques, mobile phones, SIM cards, and digital logs of all the mule account deals. With links possibly stretching across states, police formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by Additional SP Kamble Sharan Gopinath. The SIT will hunt down more gang members and trace who benefited from the scams.
Rajasthan Police is warning everyone: Stay alert to cyber frauds and report suspicious bank activity right away. Call your local station or the cybercrime helpline. More arrests could be on the way as the probe heats up.
This crackdown shows how seriously Indian police are tackling the rise in online scams. If you’ve faced something similar, don’t hesitate—report it to stop these fraudsters in their tracks.
