Post Views: 19

Delhi Police have dismantled a cyber fraud and money laundering network based in Rajasthan, leading to the arrest of four individuals involved in channeling and hiding illicit funds through multiple banking systems.

Technical Audit Traces Funds to Sikar District

A preliminary inquiry revealed that the stolen funds were initially transferred into a primary account before being systematically distributed across multiple secondary bank accounts to obscure the financial trail. A specialized investigative team conducted a forensic review of banking records, internet protocol (IP) logs, and digital evidence. This analysis identified the mobile numbers used to execute the unauthorized transactions, leading to the discovery of a coordinated network operating in Rajasthan.

Arrests in Sikar District

Based on these findings, law enforcement conducted raids in a village within the Sikar district, resulting in the apprehension of four suspects: Abhishek Sihag, Ankit Garhwal, Vikas Beniwal, and Lokesh Kumar.

Proceeds Funneled Through Online Gambling Platforms

Investigators uncovered that the syndicate used online gambling platforms as a primary method for laundering illicit proceeds. The stolen money was routed through a series of intermediate accounts before being deployed for gambling-related digital transactions. To avoid detection, the accused allegedly employed a combination of virtual and international mobile numbers, enabling encrypted communication and coordination of financial activities across regions.

Recruitment of Youth Under Work From Home Pretexts

The probe also revealed a broader strategy involving the recruitment of students and young individuals under the guise of remote work opportunities. A senior police official stated that the group targeted vulnerable youth, offering虚假 employment prospects. Instead, the recruits’ newly opened bank accounts were exploited to move illicit funds through the financial system.

A detailed examination of digital communications, IP data logs, banking records, and seized electronic devices helped establish the roles of the four arrested individuals and the operational structure of the network.

Further investigations are ongoing to identify additional associates linked to the syndicate.
