Ashwani Tripathi, Dehradun. For the first time, Uttarakhand Cyber Police has reached the root of the gang leader King-Pin sitting in China in search of thugs involved in online fraud. King-Pin is running a cyber fraud gang from China to India.
Due to using Hong Kong's internet protocol, till now the police could not identify the kingpin sitting in China, but when Uttarakhand Police, posing as an investor, joined the WhatsApp group being run for online fraud, the layers kept getting revealed.
While investigating the entire network of fraud, the police have arrested two big agents of the king-pin who was a headache for other states including Uttarakhand.
Police became investors and revealed the secret
The WhatsApp group has a mastermind based in China, along with his henchmen in India and local people who have been added to hunt.
Apart from this, a large number of catalysts are also added to the group, which motivate investors to invest money.
To access the network, the police entered the group by posing as investors themselves. The team closely monitored chats, call records, transaction patterns and digital IP logs.
After several days of investigation, two important agents operating in India were identified. They have been arrested. This network is not limited to just one state, but is spread across the entire country. This also includes agents from Uttarakhand.
The web of trust and the script of greed
Cyber police investigation revealed that the gang works in a planned manner. Small benefits are shown to the new member in the group for a few days, then the real game begins.
Psychological pressure is created by sending messages like limited offer, today's opportunity only, VIP investment slot.
Local agents sit in nearby cities and towns, portraying themselves as representatives of the company and motivating them to invest large amounts of money.
moving money between multiple accounts
During the operation, the police came to know that the amount taken in the name of investment did not go directly into any one account.
First it is transferred to mule accounts i.e. fake or rented bank accounts.
The money is then sent to different accounts and digital wallets through several cycles, making it difficult for investigating agencies to link the transactions.
Two henchmen of King-Pin had reached Dehradun to expand the online fraud gang, success has been achieved in catching them. Similarly, there are many big company panels like Bro-Pay, HNNPay, HYVPay, which are working to launder and divert the money earned from cyber crimes. Major action will be taken against these also soon.--Kush Mishra, ASP Cyber, Uttarakhand
