Rajasthan Police have arrested a man from Barmer in connection with an alleged ₹6.80 crore cyber fraud case. The accused, identified as Tagaram, was arrested by the Central Cyber Crime Police Station during the investigation. With his arrest, the total number of people held in the case has reached eight.
According to police, Tagaram allegedly allowed another accused, Harendra alias Honey, to use his bank account for receiving and transferring money linked to cyber fraud. Police said Tagaram was promised a commission for providing the account. Investigators found that ₹2.50 lakh was deposited into the account on August 24. Tagaram allegedly went with Harendra to the bank and tried to withdraw the money, police said.
Police suspect that the gang was using a large network of bank accounts, ATMs, UPI, QR codes, cheques, digital wallets and cryptocurrency to move the fraud money. The group allegedly used Telegram to arrange bank accounts, SIM cards, ATMs and passbook kits.
According to investigators, the money was moved through several accounts before some of it was allegedly converted into USDT cryptocurrency. Police are now checking WhatsApp chats, call records, IP details and banking transactions to trace the money trail. The cybercrime team is also working to identify other people connected with the alleged network. Further arrests may follow as the investigation continues.
