Man linked to int'l cyber fraud syndicate arrested
Jaipur: A 24-year-old man suspected of laundering funds for a transnational cyber fraud syndicate was arrested in Jaipur, marking a major breakthrough under the city police's 'Cyber Shield' operation. The accused, Ajay Kumar of Ajit Colony, Jodhpur, is believed to be an active link in the TINBO cybercrime network—a global racket that defrauded victims across several Indian states. The arrest followed an intelligence-led raid on July 16 at a restaurant on Meera Marg. Kumar was apprehended at the Colava Multi Cuisine Restaurant, located above Hotel Palmtown, after he was seen behaving suspiciously. The police recovered Rs 71,220, 13 ATM and debit cards, eight SIM cards, two mobile phones containing incriminating chats, and a bank passbook. According to SHO Rajendra Godara (Shiprapath Police Station), Kumar's arrest was the result of a focused investigation under the supervision of DCP (South) Digant Anand. Police said the seized ATM cards were linked to 51 cyber fraud complaints filed across India, as verified through the national 1930 Cyber Portal. Investigators suspect the syndicate's reach may be far wider, with multiple operatives using similar laundering methods. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo Kumar is alleged to have operated as a commission agent for TINBO, procuring bank accounts and SIM cards from various individuals. He shared these credentials with handlers on WhatsApp. Once scam proceeds were deposited, he would withdraw the funds, convert them into cryptocurrency (mainly USDT), and relay the money via wallet addresses or QR codes provided by the syndicate. In return, he received a 7% cut of each transaction. "This was no innocent middleman. He was fully aware of the criminal proceeds and played an active role in laundering the money," said SHO Godara. Kumar was booked under Sections 316(2), 318(4), and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and remanded to police custody until July 21. Investigators said further arrests are likely as digital forensic teams analyse seized data. Police have issued a public warning against falling for unsolicited financial offers, particularly those circulated via Telegram, WhatsApp, and social media platforms.
