Cyber Fraud Exposed in Chittorgarh: Two Arrested

Chittorgarh, April 16: Chittorgarh Cyber Police have registered a case against two individuals for allegedly assisting cyber fraudsters by renting out their bank account. Investigations revealed that approximately ₹21.90 lakh was suspiciously transacted through three transactions in their account. This action was part of the ‘Mule Hunter’ campaign. The police grew suspicious of an SBI account, which upon investigation on the Cyber Crime portal, revealed complaints linked to various states across the country. Cases from Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu were found to be connected to this account, indicating a significant fraud scheme. During interrogation, account holder Baluram (a resident of Chanderia) disclosed that his friend, Shravan Suhalka, lured him into this scheme with the promise of commission. Under the plan, illegal funds were deposited into the account and withdrawn via cheques. According to their agreement, Baluram received 20% of the 30% commission, while Shravan kept the remaining 10%, with the rest handed over to the fraudsters. The police investigation has confirmed that both individuals conspired to make their bank account available for cyber fraud. Given the seriousness of the case, the police have filed charges of fraud and criminal conspiracy against the accused, and further investigations are underway to identify other individuals connected to this network.
