Mumbai Police busts ₹500cr cyber fraud, arrests 12 aged 20-25
Mumbai Police just busted a massive ₹500 crore cyber fraud and arrested 12 people, all between 20 and 25 years old.
The group was allegedly linked to an international syndicate operating from Dubai and had been running their operation out of a rented villa near Goa's Calangute beach for the past six to eight months.
Seized accounts linked to 83 complaints
The accused were recruited from Gujarat, trained for about two weeks, and then handled shady transactions on sites like "100 Panel" and "Rudra."
They opened bank accounts in Mumbai, sent paperwork to Goa by bus, and managed deposits, withdrawals, and transfers, sometimes using tricks like digital arrest scams.
Police seized loads of evidence: laptops, ATM cards, mobile phones, SIM cards, checkbooks, even ledgers showing all their transactions, with some seized bank accounts linked to 83 complaints of cyber fraud from various parts of the country on the Cyber Control Room helpline no. 1930.
The group earned a monthly salary plus commission. All 12 are now in custody as police dig deeper into their international connections.
