Police in Jamnagar, Gujarat, have booked six individuals in connection with a cyber fraud case involving suspicious financial transactions worth ₹3.9 crore, uncovered during an investigation into online financial crimes.
The case was registered based on inputs received through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP), which alerted authorities about multiple fraudulent transactions linked to several bank accounts.
Six accused identified in the case
According to police officials, the accused have been identified as Kanaiyalal Sabhaya, Lakha Jhapda, Raja Jhapda, Shailesh Makwana, Prakash Kanmiya, and Aryan Patel.
Authorities suspect the accused were part of a network involved in facilitating cyber fraud by routing illegal funds through bank accounts used to move and withdraw proceeds of online scams.

Transactions worth ₹3.9 crore traced
During the investigation, officials discovered that the bank accounts associated with the accused had processed transactions amounting to approximately ₹3.9 crore.
Investigators believe the accounts were used to receive and transfer money obtained from victims of various cyber fraud schemes. Such accounts are often used by cybercriminals to quickly move funds across multiple channels in order to conceal the money trail.
Case registered after cybercrime portal alert
The complaint was filed by police constable Karu Vasra, who acted on information generated through the cybercrime monitoring system.
Authorities said the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal plays a key role in identifying suspicious financial activities and enabling police to track cyber fraud networks operating across different states.
Investigation underway
Police have launched further investigations to determine the exact role of each accused and to identify whether the accounts were used to process funds from multiple cyber fraud cases.
Officials are examining bank transaction records, digital communication data, and account ownership details to trace additional suspects and uncover the wider network behind the fraud.
Cybercrime investigators say that the use of multiple bank accounts to route stolen funds is a common tactic used by fraud networks to obscure financial trails and evade detection.
Authorities have indicated that further arrests and legal action may follow as the investigation progresses.
