Jaipur: A special team of Jaipur police on Wednesday arrested a 30-year-old criminal who was wanted by Mumbai police for cybercrime scam of Rs 1.42 crore.
DCP (East) Gyan Chandra Yadav said that a team from the Kho Nagoriyan police station arrested the accused identified Anil Kumar Meena, a native of Dholpur.
He mentioned that the accused was handed over to the Mumbai police for a cybercrime investigation there.
“Meena and his aides used to cheat people by offering them part-time jobs to review the ratings on social sites like Google, Telegram, Instagram, and lured people with a promise of hefty returns,” Yadav said.
He said that police seized 1,200 sim cards and multiple phones from the suspect.
He explained that the accused also enticed individuals from well-off backgrounds, encouraging them to invest money in the stock market with the promise of earning profits.
They would manage the initial investment through their company, display some initial profits to gain the victim’s trust, and then, after luring the victim to invest significant amounts, transfer the money to their own accounts before switching off their mobile phones.
They had also established a company to connect with people online, enticing them with an initial bonus of Rs 200. The fraudulent activities included deceiving people into transferring money through Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and other online methods.
Sources revealed that the Mumbai Police is now investigating a comprehensive cyber fraud racket, with Meena identified as the main accused. An amount of Rs 1.42 crore from the fraudulent activities has been traced to Meena’s bank accounts, where it was subsequently deposited and transferred to different bank accounts.
Yadav mentioned that Meena consistently changed his locations in an attempt to evade police crackdowns. However, based on strong information collected through technical intelligence, the police successfully tracked down and arrested the accused.
He also mentioned that several of the accused’s aides are under the scanner of the police, including those who played a role in facilitating the establishment of the fraudulent company and the transfer of money.
