₹250 Crore Fraud Under Guise of Gold Loans and Investments; Police Stunned by Sophistication of Educated Conmen
The UP Police has busted a multi-crore rupee scam orchestrated by cyber fraudsters. A major cyber fraud network was exposed through a joint operation involving the Barra police station (Kanpur Commissionerate), the Crime Branch, and the Cyber Cell. Police have arrested Rajveer (alias Omkar Yadav)—who carried a reward of ₹50,000 on his head—and his associate, Shivam Sinha. The gang’s mastermind, Sultan Mirza (alias Abhay Shukla), remains at large, and the police are conducting continuous raids to locate him. Authorities suspect he has fled the country to Dubai; a search for him is underway.
