Location: Rajnandgaon, India
In a major breakthrough against organised cybercrime, Rajnandgaon Police have busted two high-value online fraud cases—one involving “digital arrest” and the other a fake share-trading scheme—collectively worth more than ₹2 crore. A joint team of the Cyber Cell and Kotwali Police conducted raids in Gurugram (Haryana) and Sehore–Indore (Madhya Pradesh), arresting four key suspects. Police also seized bank passbooks, ATM cards, cheque books, Aadhaar–PAN cards and five mobile phones.
Case 1: Elderly Woman Defrauded of ₹79.69 Lakh Through “Digital Arrest” Threat
Cybercriminals impersonated an Airtel employee, then a CBI officer, and finally a judge to terrorise a 79-year-old woman.
They claimed she was involved in a money-laundering case and must immediately transfer her life savings to a “judge’s account” for clearance.
Fearing arrest, the victim transferred ₹79,69,047 into accounts controlled by the gang.
During the investigation, police traced ₹20 lakh to a Yes Bank account operated by accused Radheshyam (20), a resident of Jodhpur, who was arrested from Gurugram. He allegedly withdrew and distributed stolen money across multiple accounts in return for a 2% commission.
Case 2: Young Trader Duped of ₹1.21 Crore via Fake Share Trading Platform
In the second case, scammers posed as forex and online trading experts, convincing a young trader to invest heavily.
They initially returned ₹15,000 profit to gain trust and later siphoned off ₹1,21,53,590 through a fake trading website.
Police traced the money trail to a Bandhan Bank current account belonging to Dheeraj Singh, who had sold his account for ₹1,30,000 to the fraudsters.
Further investigation revealed that:
- Arvind Thakur provided mule accounts for a 2% commission
- Dimple Yadav, a B.Tech (Cyber Security) student, supplied additional accounts for a 2.8% commission
- Payments to these agents were made through USDT crypto wallets
