Man linked to 85 cyber fraud cases arrested in Gurgaon
A fake employment agency based in Gurgaon, mule accounts operating in South India and a rape accused pulling the strings – this is how a cybercrime operation pulled off over 85 scams, worth lakhs of rupees, across India before the main accused was arrested three weeks ago, Delhi Police said on Sunday. Muneer Khan alias Sahil Sharma (33), a resident of Asoti village in Haryana's Palwal district, was arrested following a raid in Gurgaon's Spaze iTech Park for allegedly running a fake manpower recruitment company named Meraaki Manpower Services Private Limited. Police said the company's name came up when a man filed a complaint on May 26, alleging that his Iphone — linked to his bank account — was stolen on May 22. After obtaining a duplicate SIM card on May 26, the complainant received alerts for nine unauthorised UPI transactions amounting to Rs 3.98 lakh, said DCP (Crime) Aditya Gautam said. Following this, an FIR was registered, and a probe was launched. The police discovered that Rs 1 lakh from the defrauded amount was transferred to an account in Telangana and then routed to another account in the name of Meraaki Manpower Services Private Limited. KYC verification of the company showed the registered address of the company – in Gurgaon – had been vacated. The probe then led the police to the company's actual 'headquarters' at Spaze iTech Park, from where Khan was arrested, said the DCP. Police said they recovered 200 cheques of four banks and four debit cards linked to suspected fraud-related accounts from Khan. 'He had set up Meraaki Manpower Services with associates Shubham, Mukim, and Munjir, using it as a front for laundering cybercrime proceeds. Multiple current accounts were opened in the company's name to conceal the source of illicit funds. Data from National Cybercrime Reporting Portal links the company's accounts to 85 cybercrime complaints across India,' the DCP said. Khan had earlier been arrested in a rape case in Uttam Nagar and spent around four-and-a-half years in judicial custody, said police.

Man takes loan from girlfriend, gets brother to loot her flat to repay
Kolkata: An IT-sector employee, and his brother, were arrested by Baguiati cops for theft of items worth Rs 5 lakh from the former's girlfriend's residence at Deshabandhu Nagar in Baguiati. Accused Shyamcharan Das reportedly took advantage of his girlfriend's business trip to Sikkim and gave the rented flat's keys to his brother Ramcharan, asking him to steal gold jewellery. He directed his brother to the exact spots where the gold was kept in the flat that he often visited. Shyamcharan himself travelled to Sikkim to meet his girlfriend, ensuring he was not seen as a suspect. By the time the trip was over and the theft was discovered on May 30, the woman lodged an FIR against the servants of the building. However, cops checked CCTV footage and identified Shyamcharan's scooty at the crime scene. It was being used by Ramcharan. "On being questioned, Shyamcharan confessed to planning the crime," said an officer. Shyamcharan borrowed Rs 1.5 lakh from the victim and was under pressure to return the money. He planned to sell the jewellery to return the loan and pocket the rest. Shyamcharan and Ramcharan often visited the flat, and no one suspected their involvement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free Iphone Promos Happening Today Only (See Now) GoSearches | Search Ads Learn More Undo The stolen items included two necklaces, two bracelets, four earrings, four lockets, and Rs 60,000 in cash.
