Two Members of Inter-State Cyber Fraud Syndicate Arrested in Rourkela
Rourkela, September 29, 2026 (SatyaNewsAlert): Rourkela Police have arrested two alleged members of an inter-state cyber fraud syndicate and seized several documents and financial instruments from their possession.
The arrested accused have been identified as Sheikh Aman and Jasraj Singh. Police seized bank passbooks, cheque books, credit cards and other documents from them.
According to police, the duo allegedly lured people with promises of financial benefits and employment and opened bank accounts in their names. These accounts were subsequently used as mule accounts for illegal financial transactions and online cyber fraud.
During the investigation, police found that fraudulent transactions amounting to approximately Rs 25 lakh had been carried out through the bank accounts.
Police further suspect that members of the syndicate were selling or providing these mule accounts to cyber fraudsters operating in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, who allegedly used them to conduct fraudulent transactions.
Following the registration of a case at Bandhamunda Police Station, police launched an investigation and arrested the two accused. Further investigation is underway to identify other members of the syndicate and establish the full extent of the cyber fraud network.
