Noida, June 24: The police of Gautam Buddh Nagar’s Cyber Crime Unit has dismantled an organized cyber fraud gang that deceived people under the guise of providing jobs and training. Five suspects have been arrested, and a substantial amount of electronic devices, SIM cards, debit cards, and fake documents were seized during the operation. This action was based on intelligence gathering and analysis of electronic evidence.
According to the police, the arrested individuals lured victims by promising job placements and training in various companies. They misused data stolen from other firms and contacted people via calls, assuring them of job opportunities while committing financial fraud. The arrests took place in Sector 63, Noida.
The suspects have been identified as Aditya Chauhan (20) from Etah, Sumit Kumar (19) from Delhi, Suraj Gupta (23) from Kanpur Nagar, Rishabh (20) from Firozabad, and Gaurav Pathak (23) from Sultanpur. Among them, two hold a BCA degree, one has a B.Sc., another has a B.A., and one has completed 12th grade. The police stated that all suspects were operating this cyber fraud network together. During the raid, the police recovered nine mobile phones, one laptop, 17 SIM cards, four debit cards, two company seals, a checkbook, a passbook, and a large volume of calling data.
Initial investigations revealed that there are a total of five complaints against the suspects across various states in the country, including one from Uttar Pradesh, one from Bihar, and three from Maharashtra. A case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Gautam Buddh Nagar under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sections 66C and 66D of the IT Act. The police are now investigating the suspects’ network, bank accounts, and other accomplices to reach other individuals connected to this cyber fraud gang.
The police have urged citizens not to trust unknown calls, messages, or emails promising jobs or training without verification. They advised obtaining recruitment information only from official company websites or authorized channels. Citizens should refrain from sending money to any individual or organization under the pretext of job placement without thorough investigation and should not share personal information, bank details, OTPs, or confidential documents like Aadhaar or PAN cards with unknown persons.
