Gang involved in digi arrest cases busted; three arrested
Lucknow: Lucknow Police arrested three members of a pan-India cyber fraud gang involved in at least 67 scams across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Bihar, Jharkhand, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh worth over Rs 100 crore. The gang was also involved in a recent case in the city where a 73-year-old woman was duped of Rs 56 lakh. Among those arrested are Mohammed Zaid, a law student from a private university, Chitransh Kunwar, a medical equipment businessman from Indiranagar, and Mohan Kumar Rawat of Sugamau. They used fake identities, forged court documents, and a numberless SUV posing as a legal vehicle to avoid suspicion. The kingpin, Sameer Ansari alias Munna Bhaiya, is currently absconding, and efforts are ongoing to trace him, said additional DCP, Cyber Cell, Rallapalli Vasanth Kumar. Kumar said that the gang came under the scanner after Rita Bhasin, a resident of IT Colony in Aishbagh, lodged a complaint on July 18. She was targeted by fraudsters posing as CBI officials who claimed her Aadhaar and mobile number were linked to criminal activity and that an FIR was registered in Andheri East, Mumbai. The scam further escalated when the caller initiated a WhatsApp video call, during which one of the fraudsters, dressed in a police uniform, aggressively threatened her, citing alleged links to a money laundering case and the possibility of jail time. According to the complaint, the victim, already in a state of anxiety, was coerced into isolating herself in a private space where she was forced to remain in view of a video camera. The fraudster even went as far as providing an "Supreme Court bank account" number, assuring her that transferring 99% of her funds would later be "recovered" following an investigation. Throughout the process, the culprits bolstered their deception by sending fake arrest warrants and court orders as further evidence of their fabricated authority. DCP Kumar added that the arrested individuals were found to have been using their vehicle—stripped of its number plate—to travel for money collection activities. "Investigations have so far uncovered 67 cases of similar fraud across different states, with the recovered funds funnelled into bank accounts provided by the accused," he said. Probe into the scam revealed that members of the gang communicated through a private group chat.
