Ajmer Police have arrested four persons involved in cyber fraud. As many as eight persons have been arrested in this case to date. District Superintendent of Police Vandita Rana added that four of them have been arrested following interrogating four persons arrested in an earlier case.

The four individuals have been named Lalit Singh Rao, Shubham Singh Rajput, Harshit Singh Hada, and Shubham Khatik, and all four of them hail from the Bhilwara district. All four of them have an age range between 20 and 23 years.

The police initially arrested Prithvi Singh, Gauri Shankar, Shanu alias Ronnie, and Pawan Singh. On the basis of information revealed during interrogating these four accused, the remaining four accused have been arrested. All four of these accused persons used to furnish bank accounts. Yet, in this case, a police investigation continues to date.

The entire gang works like a chain. The henchmen of the gang used to rent bank accounts from people for 3-5 thousand rupees. Phone numbers were also linked to the bank accounts. Later, the henchmen of the gang used to sell these accounts further for lakhs of rupees. These bank accounts are used in cyber fraud.

The Superintendent of Police said that the investigation has revealed that the thugs used to buy savings and current and cooperative bank accounts. The reason for this was that the limits in these accounts were different. Information about many bank accounts has been received from all the eight thugs so far. The bank accounts involved in cyber fraud have been frozen.

A police investigation has also revealed that the vicious people involved in the gang have opened their accounts in different banks in many towns. These are also used in cybercrime. Through these bank accounts, the thugs were sending the fraud money from one place to another. According to the police, the gang is active in the whole of Rajasthan. Further investigation is being done in the case.
