Police said the accused were linked to complaints registered through different channels in connection with cyber fraud. After examining the complaints and preliminary financial records, investigators found an alleged fraud trail involving around ₹48.10 lakh. Police are now trying to establish the precise role of each accused and determine how the allegedly defrauded money was transferred through bank accounts or other channels.
During the operation, the police team recovered four mobile phones and four SIM cards. Investigators are examining the devices and SIM cards to determine whether they were allegedly used to contact victims, obtain banking information or facilitate transactions linked to the suspected fraud. A bank passbook was also recovered and is being examined to trace the associated account and financial transactions.
Police also seized an Apache motorcycle. Investigators suspect that the motorcycle was allegedly purchased with proceeds from cyber fraud. The police are examining documents related to the vehicle’s purchase and the source of the payment to establish whether the motorcycle is connected to the alleged fraud proceeds.
According to police officials, questioning of the arrested accused is underway. Investigators are seeking information about the alleged cyber fraud network, the bank accounts used to route the money and other people who may have been involved. Police are also examining whether the accused targeted additional victims and whether they may have been involved in other cybercrime cases beyond the complaints already identified.
The Deeg district police have been conducting a special campaign against cybercrime under the direction of the district Superintendent of Police. As part of the campaign, police are collecting information related to suspicious cyber activities and complaints and taking action against suspected offenders.
Investigators are also examining the digital and financial records recovered during the operation. The mobile phones, SIM cards and bank passbook could provide information about communications, account details and transactions allegedly linked to the suspected cyber fraud. The vehicle recovery is also being examined as part of the investigation into the alleged use of fraud proceeds.
Police said further details could emerge during the questioning of the arrested accused. Investigators are attempting to identify the wider network, establish the flow of money and determine whether additional people were involved in the alleged operations.
Legal proceedings against the four accused have been initiated following their arrests. The investigation remains underway, and police are continuing to examine digital evidence, banking records and other material to establish the alleged roles of the accused and identify any other persons connected with the case.
