Jammu Cyber Police Uncovers ₹4.44 Crore Cyber Fraud; Three Arrested in Gujarat

In a major breakthrough against rising cybercrime, the Jammu Cyber Police has successfully busted a high-value cyber fraud amounting to ₹4.44 crore. The operation led to the arrest of three accused individuals from Surat, Gujarat, according to official sources.

Modus Operandi of the Fraud

According to SSP Jammu, Joginder Singh, the investigation began after a written complaint was lodged on September 2 at the Cyber Police Station, Jammu. The victim alleged he had been defrauded of ₹4.44 crore by individuals who were impersonating law enforcement officers.

The fraudsters falsely accused the complainant of being involved in money laundering, claiming misuse of his Aadhaar and SIM credentials. Under coercion and fear, the victim was manipulated into transferring funds across multiple bank accounts in a series of fraudulent transactions.

Legal Action and Investigation

Acting swiftly, the Jammu Cyber Police registered a case under Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000, which deals with cheating by personation using computer resources.

A detailed cyber investigation was launched, involving:

• Analysis of bank transactions

• Scrutiny of mobile communications

• Tracing digital footprints

Criminal Network Traced to Gujarat

The investigation revealed that the cybercrime network was operating from Gujarat. Based on credible intelligence, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by Inspector Gagandeep Singh and Inspector Ajit Singh was dispatched to Surat.

In a well-coordinated operation, the SIT successfully apprehended three individuals:

• Chauhan Manish Arunbhai

• Ansh Vithani

• Kishorbhai Karamshibhai Diyoria

The arrested suspects were brought to Jammu for further interrogation, aimed at identifying co-conspirators, gathering additional evidence, and tracing the complete financial trail.

Recovery and Refund Progress

So far, the Jammu Cyber Police has managed to freeze ₹55,88,256.74 across multiple bank accounts linked to the accused. Out of this, ₹6 lakh has already been refunded to the complainant’s account. Efforts are ongoing to recover and return the remaining defrauded amount.

Conclusion

This case highlights the growing threat of cyber fraud involving impersonation and psychological manipulation. It also showcases the efficiency of modern cyber policing in tracking and dismantling interstate cybercrime networks. The swift action by the Jammu Cyber Police has not only led to arrests but also offered financial relief to the victim, reinforcing public trust in digital law enforcement mechanisms.
