16 cybercriminals who scammed individuals all over India in 15,265 complaints totaling Rs 66.62 crore have been taken into custody by the Gurugram police’s cybercrime teams, according to the police.
Anurag, Ashish Kumar, Chirag, Suraj Tiwari, Amit Lavania, Anupam Banarjee, Nitesh, Roshni, Karan Singh, Ruman Ali, Raman, Chandan, Isha Yadav, Saurabh, Sonu, and Prateek were among those who were taken into custody.
Several teams from the Gurugram Police’s Cyber Crime Police Station took the suspects into custody.
The police claim that after analyzing the information from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordinate Center (I4C) on the 17 cell phones and 7 SIM cards they retrieved from the accused, they discovered that the accused had committed approximately Rs 66.62 crore in fraud, and that 15,265 complaints had been filed against them nationwide.
488 instances were reported in India in this respect. Thirty-six of these instances, including ten in Gurugram, were recorded in Haryana.
“The accused used to pose as fake officials of the Fedex before indulging in sextortion and duping people on the pretext of investments,” ACP Priyanshu Diwan said.
Regularly, additional action is taken based on the data gathered by looking at the equipment that the police have confiscated from the detained cybercriminals.
According to Diwan, the cybercrime units of the Gurugram Police are always taking the appropriate measures to combat cybercriminals.
He said that in order to combat these scams, the Gurugram police are collaborating closely with various organizations and institutions.
“We appealed to the public to steer clear of such dubious callers and advised caution in sharing personal details to strangers stalking them online,” he added.
