Lucknow: In another case of digital arrest, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) on Friday arrested four members of an interstate gang from Lucknow for cheating a retired scientist of Rs 1.29 crore by impersonating as CBI and Bengaluru Police officials. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The accused convinced Shukdev Nandi — a retired scientist from the Indian Veterinary Research Institute — that his Aadhaar card had been used for human trafficking and job fraud. They claimed his bank account was under investigation and tricked him into transferring the money into multiple bank accounts over three days for a fake audit. According to police, Nandi received a WhatsApp call from an unknown number displaying the Bengaluru City Police logo. The caller claimed that Nandi's Aadhaar was misused for activating a SIM card involved in human trafficking and financial fraud. He was then directed to speak to a 'CBI officer' named Dayanayak. Through psychological coercion, Nandi was "digitally arrested" for three days and compelled to transfer Rs 1.29 crore into various bank accounts under the guise of a CBI audit. Realising he was duped, he lodged an FIR on June 26 at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Bareilly under BNS sections 318(4), 319(2), 308(6), 61(2), 111 and IT Act 66D). STF UP began technical surveillance and intelligence gathering. Acting on a tip-off, STF officials led by inspector Anjani Kumar Pandey arrested the accused from near Gomtinagar extension flyover in Lucknow. The accused were identified as Shyam Kumar, Rajneesh Dwivedi, Sudhir Kumar Chaurasia and Mahendra Pratap Singh alias Chandan Singh. Six mobile phones, ATM cards and four cheque books were receovered from them. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Pandey told TOI that during interrogation, Sudhir Chaurasia confessed that he was introduced to a man named Ankit in Varanasi four months ago. Ankit connected him to Deepak, who operated a fake company that offered commissions for sharing bank account details. Sudhir roped in Shyam, Rajneesh and Mahendra to manage bank accounts. Deepak allegedly sent a handler named Faiz to collect the withdrawn cash, which was later converted into USDT cryptocurrency and transferred to a Trust Wallet. Faiz reportedly worked with two more men, Siraj Ali and Gufran, both from Lucknow.

Cyber scam worth crores busted in Yavatmal; jobless youth duped via bank accounts
Yavatmal: A massive cyber fraud running into crores has surfaced in Pandharkawda taluka of Yavatmal district, where hundreds of unemployed rural youth were duped into handing over their bank account credentials under the pretext of getting jobs through the govt's Employment Guarantee Scheme (MREGS). Victims from villages like Chopan, Vasantnagar, Shivni, Wagholi, and Jarang were asked to open bank accounts and submit ATM cards, passwords, UPI IDs, and net banking access. These accounts were then used to route large-scale financial transactions across India—including from Gujarat, Delhi, Mumbai, and Andaman—raising suspicions of a nationwide cybercrime racket. The fraud came to light after former Pandharkawda municipal president Santosh Borale filed a complaint with Yavatmal SP, demanding a CBI probe. Several affected youths have also filed police complaints, naming local agents Mayur Chavan and Manohar Rathod as masterminds. Transactions ranging from Rs10 lakh to Rs1.15 crore were carried out through these accounts, exposing the account holders—many from daily wage families—to legal action. With their accounts frozen and tax notices expected, these unsuspecting youth now face criminal charges for crimes they claim they never committed.

"This appears to be a large network, not a local incident. It must be investigated at a national level," Borale said. Authorities have launched a preliminary probe, but no arrests have been made yet.
