Case 7 - Anna Reddy Gaming App
Lucknow Police uncovered a major international cyber fraud ring operating from a penthouse in Lucknow, linked to Dubai. Led by Vishal Yadav (aka Ganni/Prince), the gang used the "Anna Reddy" gaming app to scam people across India by luring them into online betting with false promises of high returns. Initially, victims gained small profits, but eventually lost their money as the scammers manipulated the system. The stolen funds were funneled through fake accounts, converted into cryptocurrency, and sent abroad. The gang used new SIM cards and accounts to avoid detection, but 15 members were arrested in a joint police operation.
Recently, a large international cyber fraud ring based in Dubai was discovered by the Commissionerate of Lucknow police. In a coordinated operation by the Cyber Crime Police Station, Cyber Cell, and PGI Police Station Lucknow, under the leadership of ADCP Crime, 15 crafty scammers were apprehended and a significant quantity of merchandise was retrieved. For the past month, this gang has been operating out of the penthouse of an apartment in the PGI police station area of Lucknow, following in the footsteps of Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Dubai.
In numerous Indian states, this group of cybercriminals used to exploit a gaming app called "Anna Reddy" to lure individuals into investing money by promising them enormous rewards. In addition to forcing people to wager online, this gang also constantly moving around.
Vishal Yadav, also known as Ganni or Prince, is the gang's leader. He used to hire staff members to use social media to connect people to the "Anna Reddy" app. Employees used to use WhatsApp or phone calls to assign people various duties while enticing them with the promise of enormous betting and investment rewards. People used to benefit in the beginning, but eventually their money was stolen.. Many people's funds were already frozen by the time they figured out the win-lose, profit-loss game because the scammers used to run the program according to their own wishes.
The funds were then moved to a fictitious account (mule account), where they were taken out and utilised to purchase cryptocurrency and send it to other nations. If there was a complaint about this, the account was frozen. New SIMs and accounts were then used.
