Individuals from Ludhiana and Ganganagar involved in Rs 1100 crore cyber fraud racket

  The Rs 1,100 crore cyber fraud racket busted in Jodhpur last week will now be investigated by the Sriganganagar cyber police. The case has been linked to Sriganganagar district, where Sunil Kumar is accused of issuing SIM cards. These SIMs not only reached cyber fraudsters but were also used for fraudulent activities from Cambodia.

The police said that the racket was mainly being run by Chinese gangs from call centres operating in Cambodia. Unemployed Indian youth were lured to Vietnam or Cambodia on the pretext of jobs. There they were given 15 days of training, their documents were confiscated and they were forced to commit fraud using knowledge of Indian languages.

These call centres were running with 1000-1500 people, including individuals from India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. The fraud was mainly related to investment schemes, trading scams and fake apps. The police have blocked more than 5,000 fake SIM cards and WhatsApp accounts.
