Mumbai police have arrested three suspects in Nagpur as part of a cyber‑fraud network that investigators say is linked to 73 similar cases across the country.
Mumbai police, acting on a joint investigation, detained three individuals in Nagpur suspected of operating a sophisticated cyber‑fraud racket. The arrests were made after a series of digital forensics and surveillance operations that traced fraudulent transactions to the suspects.
Investigators have established connections between the Nagpur network and 73 other cyber‑fraud cases reported from different states, indicating a coordinated scheme that exploited online platforms to defraud victims nationwide. The linked cases involve unauthorized access to bank accounts, phishing attacks, and illicit money transfers.
A police spokesperson said the operation is part of a larger effort to dismantle organized cyber‑crime cells and that further arrests are expected as the probe continues. The three detainees are currently in custody and will be interrogated for additional leads.
