The Aligarh Police Exposes a Widespread Cyber-Fraud Network

On May 8, 2026, the Aligarh police made a significant breakthrough in their efforts to combat cybercrime by arresting three individuals accused of supplying bank accounts used in large-scale online scams across India.

The arrested individuals had allegedly created and sold current accounts to cybercriminals for illegal financial transactions.
The accounts were used to route money obtained through online scams, including investment fraud, fake trading schemes, and digital payment deception.

According to officials, “the accused had opened small shops in the Delhi-NCR region and used these businesses as fronts to create and sell current accounts to fraud networks operating across multiple states.”

During the investigation, details of 252 firm-linked bank accounts were recovered, raising concerns about the scale of the financial infrastructure supporting cybercrime networks.

The police believe that these accounts were actively used to facilitate cybercrime operations.
At least 13 cybercrime complaints linked to the accused have already been registered.

The operation highlights how cybercriminal networks increasingly rely on intermediaries who supply bank accounts rather than directly handling digital fraud themselves.

Cybercrime experts note that such networks form the backbone of digital fraud ecosystems, where unsuspecting individuals are often used as account holders, while organized gangs operate behind the scenes.

Authorities have confirmed that further interrogation of the arrested individuals is ongoing, and more arrests are likely as the investigation expands.
Polic are also coordinating with financial institutions to identify and freeze additional suspicious accounts linked to the case.
