Haridwar police arrest five in alleged Rs 2.75 crore cyber fraud ring
Police in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, arrested five men on suspicion of running an interstate cyber fraud network. Officials said the suspects' phones contained transaction details involving more than Rs 2.75 crore, though that amount represents suspicious transfers traced during the probe, not cash seized.
Police in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, said on Wednesday they had broken up a suspected interstate cyber fraud network, arresting five men and uncovering digital transactions worth more than Rs 2.75 crore.
The arrests followed a tip-off during vehicle checking in the Shyampur police area on the night of August 25. Police stopped a white Swift car near Sajjanpur Peeli after being alerted that men linked to cyber fraud were traveling in it.
Officers recovered 35 ATM cards, 14 bank passbooks, 17 SIM cards, 18 mobile phones, two laptops and Rs 37,500 in cash from the accused. Three of the suspects are from Bihar and two from Haridwar.
Senior Superintendent of Police Navneet Singh Bhullar said the Rs 2.75 crore figure reflected suspicious transactions identified in the preliminary inquiry, not cash seized from the vehicle. Initial examination of the phones found WhatsApp chats allegedly containing account numbers, account-holder names, QR codes and transaction details.
