7 Indian Agents Arrested for Cyber Fraud Targeting Indians on Behalf of Chinese Groups

The Cyber Crime Investigation Department of Jharkhand (Ranchi) has achieved a significant breakthrough by arresting seven cybercriminals operating on behalf of Chinese fraud networks. The arrests were made during a raid on a hotel in the Jagannathpur police station area of Ranchi. The suspects were involved in defrauding Indian citizens through various methods, including enticing them with investment schemes promising high returns and employing digital arrest tactics to extort money. Authorities seized mobile phones, SIM cards, ATMs, a laptop, a checkbook, and numerous chat records from the individuals. The investigation revealed that the arrested individuals supplied mule bank accounts to Chinese cybercriminals operating across different parts of the country. One of the arrested agents was specifically working for the Chinese entities Milnay, Dargonpay, Super Pay, and Mangopayindia. The authorities have appealed to the public to exercise caution and verify investment offers before clicking on social media advertisements, and to report any cyber fraud incidents to the cyber helpline.
