Police in Haryana's Hisar district have apprehended two men accused of facilitating a sophisticated cyber fraud scheme that targeted a resident of Gurugram. The arrested individuals allegedly provided their bank accounts to the criminal network, enabling the fraudsters to receive and launder illicit funds.
The investigation centres on a case where the Gurugram victim was deceived and defrauded of ₹4.72 crore through digital means. Authorities believe the two suspects played a crucial role in the financial pipeline of the fraud operation by allowing their accounts to be misused for receiving stolen money.
The arrests represent progress in dismantling what authorities describe as an organised cyber fraud gang with members operating across multiple states. Police are continuing their investigation to identify additional members of the network and trace the full extent of the fraudulent transactions.
The case highlights the growing menace of organised cyber fraud in northern India, where criminal networks often recruit individuals willing to provide bank accounts in exchange for a commission on the swindled amounts. Authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious financial activities to law enforcement.
