Woman Inspector Blows Whistle on Rs 100 Crore Cyber Fraud, Says She’s Being ‘Threatened’

In a major cyber fraud investigation, Inspector Amanjot Kaur has written to Punjab’s Director General of Police (DGP), Gaurav Yadav, demanding a thorough probe into an alleged Rs 100 crore cyber fraud case. Kaur, previously in charge of the district’s cyber cell, claims that the scam has been operating openly from a residential welfare association (RWA) for the past three years without paying any income tax.

Kaur’s letter alleges that a nexus involving police officials and politicians has been working to suppress the case and frame her instead. The officer has requested that the case be transferred to either the Bureau of Investigation (BoI) or the State Cyber Cell to ensure an impartial inquiry, free from political or local influence.

In a related event in January, Kaur, then in charge of the district’s cyber cell, busted a call center allegedly run by Varinder Raj Kapooria and his associates. This call center was believed to be part of the larger Rs 100 crore fraud. An FIR was filed under sections of the Information Technology Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), but despite this, Kaur claims the investigation has not moved forward due to vested interests within the system.

Compounding the situation, Inspector Kaur is also facing accusations of bribery. A petitioner, Palak Dev, filed an application in April under Section 156 of the Criminal Procedure Code, alleging that Kaur demanded a Rs 25 lakh bribe. This has led to an FIR being filed against her, but Kaur maintains that this is a tactic to undermine her efforts in exposing the scam.

Kaur’s complaint highlights the urgent need for accountability in cybercrime investigations and raises questions about the integrity of local law enforcement in such high-profile cases.
