A strange case has come to light in Jaipur, where a young man was caught living a luxurious life despite having no known job or steady income. His frequent visits to Jaipur International Airport raised suspicion, prompting law enforcement officials to investigate.
When questioned, the man revealed an unexpected source of income, shocking the police. He was taken into custody for further investigation, which led to even more surprising discoveries.
According to the media, the Rajasthan Police’s Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) uncovered an international cyber fraud ring operating out of Jaipur. The investigation led to the arrest of Yashwant Singh Panwar, a resident of Shastri Nagar, who was found in possession of 61 active SIM cards and two mobile phones.
During interrogation, Panwar admitted that he was working for a cybercrime leader based in Dubai. His main task was to obtain SIM cards from states like Arunachal Pradesh and Assam using fake identities. These SIM cards were then sent to Dubai through courier flights. The operation was carried out under the leadership of AGTF Additional SP Siddhant Sharma, based on intelligence provided by Head Constable Hemant Sharma.
Officials discovered that this cyber fraud network used special devices known as SIM boxes. These SIM boxes can hold and activate 30 to 40 SIM cards at the same time. Once the SIM cards were activated, they were used by a man named Abhishek, who runs a call center in Dubai. Using these SIM cards, he carried out large-scale cyber fraud through mobile gaming apps and other online platforms, targeting unsuspecting victims.
Further investigations revealed that several individuals were connected to this racket. Among them was Yogendra Khinchi, also known by his aliases Ronnie and Ravi, along with his accomplices Rocky and Guru from Punjab. Authorities also linked Indra from Hanumangarh Junction and Jatin and Harmeet Singh from Shastri Nagar in Jaipur. Officials believe this is just the beginning of a much larger network, and more individuals are likely involved.
Rajasthan Police’s swift action has exposed this cybercrime ring, and further investigations are expected to reveal more details about the extent of their operations.
Authorities have urged people to be cautious about online fraud and suspicious activities, especially those involving mobile gaming apps and financial transactions over unsecured networks.
