Jaipur police arrested 21 cyber fraud suspects from several states, uncovering a scam that swindled roughly Rs 18.5 crore and leading to the seizure of a large cache of goods.
The Rajasthan police’s cyber crime wing announced the arrest of 21 individuals suspected of operating a multi‑state online fraud network. The suspects were taken into custody in Jaipur after a coordinated operation that spanned several jurisdictions.
Investigators say the group had siphoned off close to Rs 18.5 crore from victims across India through deceptive digital schemes. The exact modus operandi has not been disclosed, but authorities described it as a large‑scale cyber‑based financial fraud.
During the raids, law enforcement seized a substantial amount of material evidence, including electronic devices, documents and other items believed to be linked to the illegal operation. The seizure is expected to aid further forensic analysis and support prosecution.
Police officials confirmed that the case remains under active investigation, with additional arrests possible as the probe expands into other states involved in the scheme.
