Man arrested from Mathura for being linked to a cyber fraud gang

A man was arrested in Mathura for his alleged connection to a cyber fraud gang accused of defrauding several crores from people.

On Wednesday, the Mathura police announced the arrest of an individual suspected to be connected with a cyber fraud gang that reportedly defrauded people of several crores of rupees. The arrested person's identity is confirmed as Sattar, who was apprehended on Tuesday following a tip-off near the Govardhan area. Police recovered multiple bank account details, fake Aadhaar cards, and SIM cards from his possession, indicating a well-organized crime operation.

The Station House Officer, Bhagwat Singh Gurjar, indicated that Sattar was captured on the Ganthouli-Devseras road, where a suspicious Aadhaar card in the name of Ramesh from Mursan in the Hathras district was discovered. The police expressed doubt over this identity and during an ongoing interrogation, Sattar eventually confessed to his real name and admitted his involvement in an organized cyber crime gang. This revelation highlights the complexities involved in tackling such cyber fraud which frequently crosses state lines and involves intricate networks.

In a parallel development, police are intensively interrogating the suspect regarding his admitted involvement in scamming several individuals, including one victim named Umesh Saini from whom he allegedly defrauded Rs 51.75 lakh. The incident emphasizes the rising challenges of cybercrime in India, where authorities are continuously striving to dismantle such gangs and protect the public from financial fraud.
