The Hyderabad cybercrime unit has exposed a web of fraudulent schemes, arresting individuals from Gujarat, Punjab, and Haryana in a series of coordinated raids. These operations have shed light on the evolving tactics of cybercriminals, who have swindled unsuspecting victims out of crores of rupees.
In a shocking revelation, two young men from Vadodara, Inamdar Vinayaka Rajendar and Rishi Thushar Arothe, were found to be masterminds behind a fake stock market platform scam. Posing as legitimate companies, they lured a Hyderabad resident into investing a staggering 32 lakh. The duo's modus operandi involved displaying fictitious profits on fraudulent apps, only to demand additional fees for withdrawals, ultimately disappearing with the invested funds. With a history of fraud, Arothe's past as a Ranji cricket player adds a surprising twist to the tale.
The investigation also led to Sanjeev Kumar, a Ludhiana-based businessman, who employed a sophisticated approach to defraud a Hyderabad priest of 1.23 crore. By creating a false sense of community in a WhatsApp group and manipulating a trading app, he convinced his victim to part with significant sums. The discovery of multiple bank accounts and fraudulent documentation underscores the intricate nature of these crimes.
In a separate incident, Nikhil Tiwari, a 25-year-old from Gurugram, was implicated in a FedEx parcel scam, extorting 1.23 crore from a Hyderabad doctor through a sophisticated ruse involving fake narcotics and police impersonation.
As the cybercrime wing continues its crackdown, the public is reminded to exercise caution. This series of arrests underscores the growing sophistication of online fraud and the need for vigilance in an increasingly digital world.
