<h2>Police dismantle inter-state cyber fraud racket in Pune, arrest 6</h2>
<p>In January, the Cyber Crime Unit of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-crime-news/article/over-20-bonded-labourers-freed-from-charcoal-making-unit-in-maharashtras-pune-district-23479694" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Pimpri Chinchwad Police</a> has successfully busted an inter-state cyber fraud racket and arrested six individuals involved in the illegal operation. The accused were allegedly responsible for providing bank accounts that were used in international cyber fraud schemes, according to the police.</p>
<p>The arrested individuals have been identified as Shubham Mohan Londhe, Sam (alias David), Sambidh Kumar Shripati Nayak, Professor (alias Himanshu Kumar), Ganesh Thakur, Rajansh Singh Santosh Singh, Gaurav Anil Kumar Sharma, and Ankush Ramrao More. These individuals are accused of facilitating cybercrime activities by providing mule accounts for fraudulent operations linked to international criminal masterminds.</p>
<p>Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sandeep Doiphode stated that Sam, also known as David, had been contacting account holders across India via the messaging platform Telegram for the past two years. These individuals were coerced into providing their bank accounts to aid the international scam. The primary suspect, Sam, is based in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/police-solve-mysterious-pune-firing-case-arrests-two-including-victims-cousin-23482620" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Cambodia</a> and is believed to have masterminded the global operation.</p>
<p>The operation came to light following a tip-off received by Police Constable Hemant Kharat, who had been investigating ongoing cybercrimes. The tip suggested that Shubham Londhe, a resident of Pune, had been providing bank accounts for fraudulent purposes. During interrogation, Londhe confirmed that he had handed over the accounts to Sam alias David, who was linked to the operation.</p>
<p>The police seized several items, including nine mobile phones, one tablet, and ten chequebooks. Further investigation revealed that the suspects had provided thousands of bank accounts to the main criminal mastermind in Cambodia over the past two years.</p>
