NUH, Aug. 18 — Six suspected cyber criminals have been arrested in Nuh district for allegedly duping people of lakhs of rupees in three separate fraud cases, police said on Sunday.
The arrests led to the recovery of mobile phones, fake SIM cards, ATM cards and other digital evidence, according to officials.
In the first case, two brothers — Tauhid and Wahid of Tirwada village — were arrested for allegedly luring victims with false promises of “work-from-home” opportunities with a fictitious Nataraj pencil company. Police said the duo operated fake WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram accounts under the names Rajiv Singh and Pooja Devi to trap unsuspecting individuals.
In another case, Mohammad Tasleem, a resident of Ferozepur Dhahar village, was taken into custody on charges of cheating. Police did not disclose further details of the alleged fraud but confirmed that technical analysis was underway.
The third case involved the arrest of three men accused of running an illegal business of selling fake bank kits, ATM cards and SIM cards to cyber fraudsters. Police said fake ATM cards of UCO Bank, Union Bank and Indian Bank, along with SIM cards of VI and Airtel, and several mobile phones of brands including Realme and Vivo were seized from their possession.
“In all three cases, technical evidence and digital footprints are yet to be examined. We are questioning the accused,” Nuh police spokesperson Krishan Kumar said.
Officials added that further investigation is in progress to determine the scale of the fraud network and identify others who may be involved.
