How the Online Gaming Fraud Operated

The gang used a deceptive website to attract users with the promise of easy money through online gaming. Once the victims were hooked, the suspects gained access to their personal bank details and misused their accounts for illegal activities. This inter-state network had been active for some time, targeting people across different regions by using attractive offers as bait.

What Items Were Recovered During the Arrest

  • The police team seized several ATM cards that were used to withdraw the defrauded money from different locations.
  • Multiple mobile phones and activated SIM cards used for communicating with victims and managing the website were recovered.
  • Various other items related to cyber fraud were also taken into custody as evidence for the ongoing investigation.
  • The police are currently interrogating the eight arrested suspects to find out more about their associates in other states.
