Four involved in online scams arrested
In a crackdown on organised cyber fraud, the Cyber Crime Cell of Chandigarh Police has arrested four individuals involved in a series of high-value online scams. The arrests were made in connection with three separate FIRs registered at Cyber Crime police station. In the first FIR registered on March 28, Kanav Khanna, a resident of Sector 21A, Chandigarh, was duped of Rs 1.08 crore. Police said that the complainant was lured through a deceptive WhatsApp group called 'FF BlackRock Investment Institute,' which posed as an official platform of the globally reputed BlackRock investment firm. Initially, the group showcased small returns and enabled successful withdrawals to build trust. However, once the investment amount grew, the victim's attempts to withdraw funds were met with threats and coercion. He was blackmailed into paying further amounts under the pretext of processing 'taxes' for fund withdrawal. During the investigation, Chandigarh Cyber Police obtained call detail records (CDRs), customer acquisition forms (CAFs), and KYC details linked to the bank accounts used in the fraud. It was discovered that Rs 49 lakh had been transferred into a Bank of Baroda account registered in the name of Madhav Prajapati, a resident of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Acting on this lead, a raid was conducted on June 26, 2025, in Barwala, Botad district, Gujarat. Madhav Prajapati was arrested and during interrogation, he confessed to opening the said bank account on instructions from another unidentified individual. He admitted to handing over the ATM card and KYC documents in exchange for a commission of Rs 20,000. In another case, registered on March 26, 2025, Satinderpal Singh Chahal, a resident of Sector 40, Chandigarh, reported that on February 5, 2024, he received a call from a fraudster who claimed that a FedEx parcel in his name had been intercepted containing narcotics and other suspicious material. Under this false pretext, the accused manipulated him into downloading Skype and subsequently gained unauthorised access to his ICICI Bank account. Exploiting this access, the fraudsters managed to get a personal loan of Rs 10 lakh sanctioned in his name and transferred Rs 9.76 lakh to a Punjab National Bank account. Based on technical surveillance and investigation, a raid was conducted in Gujarat, within the jurisdiction of Vijapur police station, Mehsana district. On June 28, 2025, two accused — Thakor Gautam Mavaji, 24, and Patel Hirenkumar Mukeshkumar, 34 — were arrested from the area. Both were found to be involved in the conspiracy and facilitation of the cyber fraud, and further investigations are underway to trace other members of the gang and to recover the defrauded amount, said the police. The third case was registered on April 19, following a complaint by Vikas Sharma, a resident of Mani Majra, Chandigarh. He stated that he had been added to a WhatsApp group called ' Investment Institute' where he was lured into investing money under the false promise of high returns through online surveys and task completion. As the engagement progressed, the accused kept demanding additional payments citing incomplete tasks or processing fees for withdrawal. After extorting multiple payments from the complainant, the fraudsters blocked him on WhatsApp and Telegram. Sharma was eventually cheated of a total of Rs 20.88 lakh. During the course of the investigation, Chandigarh Cyber Crime Police obtained CDRs, CAFs, and banking records. It was revealed that on September 4, 2024, an amount of Rs 32,740 was transferred to an Indian Bank account registered in the name of M/s Vaghela Enterprise, whose proprietor was identified as Vaghela Praful, a 42-year-old resident of Surat, Gujarat. A raid was conducted in the state, and the accused was arrested from Bharuch, Gujarat, on June 27, 2025. His role in facilitating and possibly orchestrating the financial transactions linked to the fraud has come under scrutiny, and interrogation is ongoing. The Cyber Crime Police Station has stated that further investigation is underway in all three cases to identify additional co-accused, freeze suspect bank accounts, and recover the defrauded funds.
