The total fraudulent amount associated with these cases amounted to a staggering Rs 17,68,2799.2.
The operation, spearheaded by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), led to the arrest of four individuals. These arrests were the culmination of analysis and investigation by the Cyber Crime PS, Thrissur, with support from I4C. The accused individuals were involved in sophisticated net banking fraud schemes, exploiting technological loopholes to defraud unsuspecting victims.
The investigative team traced their connections to various fraudulent activities. This data-driven approach revealed a vast network of cybercriminals who used these numbers to orchestrate their schemes. The analysis indicated that these individuals had established extensive inter-state linkages, implicating them in numerous cybercrime incidents.
Among the 501 cases linked to the accused, 24 FIRs were identified. The total fraudulent amount associated with these cases amounted to a staggering Rs 17,68,2799.2. The breakdown of this amount was derived from direct linkages, IMEI connections, and suspect data, highlighting the sophisticated nature of the fraud.
The investigation identified Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Telangana as the top three states most affected by this cyber fraud network.
Uttar Pradesh is topping the list with 140 linked cases.
Rajasthan has 58 linked cases.
Telangana has 46 linked cases.
The arrested individuals include Salman Faris, Muhammed Farshad, Muhammed Thanveer, and Muhammed Shefeer. These individuals were found to be key players in the cyber fraud network, using their expertise to execute complex fraudulent operations. Their involvement was confirmed through extensive data analysis and coordinated efforts with various cybercrime units across the country.
The police have urged the public to remain vigilant against cyber fraud. Authorities are implementing stricter cybersecurity protocols and launching awareness campaigns to educate citizens about the dangers of cybercrime. The investigation is ongoing, with efforts to uncover further details and connections, ensuring that all involved perpetrators are held accountable.
