Two additional individuals were taken into custody by the Delhi Police in relation to a purported cybercrime ring that included bank fraud, financial fraud, and extortion.
Vipin Kumar, who provided the fraudsters with bank account kits, and Manish, also known as Himanshu, a Point of Sale agent for a global telecom corporation, have been named as the accused.
Manish would take people’s biometric scans in order to provide them with SIM cards, but he would later claim that the scans were unsuccessful, according to the police. He would then build a bank account for the fraudsters to utilize and use someone else’s fingerprints to issue the SIM card to himself. Kumar would then pick up the banking kit and deliver it to the cybercriminals.
A cybercrime syndicate that was reportedly engaged in sextortion, banking fraud, and cyber frauds was raided by the Delhi Crime Branch, according to the case data. The network allegedly operated throughout Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. According to the police, they found a money trail totaling more than Rs 5 crore and seized images and videos that were used to blackmail victims.
Ten persons were detained during the May 24 operation, which was operated out of a phony contact center in Mundka and was prompted by a tip about the transfer of a suspicious cargo containing synthetic bank account kits in the New Ashok Nagar region.
