Role in Cybercrime Network
According to officials, Gochar acted as an agent for organized cybercriminal networks. He reportedly procured identity documents, including Aadhaar and PAN cards, opened multiple bank accounts, and arranged fake SIM cards. These resources were later sold to cybercriminals to facilitate online fraud and unauthorized money transfers, enabling large-scale financial scams nationwide.
Evidence Seized During Arrest
During the operation, police seized a substantial amount of incriminating evidence, including 136 fake SIM cards, seven chequebooks, two bank passbooks, eight debit cards, a company seal, QR codes, and a diary linked to the online entity “Shopping with Dream Home.” The seizure confirmed Gochar’s deep involvement in the cyber fraud ecosystem.
Investigation and Transit Remand
Police tracked the accused through suspicious transactions in his ICICI Bank account, intelligence inputs, and local informers. The Chennai cybercrime team, led by DSP R Priyadarshini, carried out the arrest with the assistance of Jhalawar authorities. Gochar has been placed under transit remand for further investigation to uncover the larger network operating behind these fraudulent activities.
Authorities Warn of Vigilance
Police have warned citizens to remain vigilant regarding online investment schemes and cyber fraud, emphasizing the role of digital forensics and inter-state collaboration in tracking and dismantling such syndicates. The ongoing probe aims to identify all beneficiaries and collaborators involved in the nationwide fraud.
