The Cyber Crime branch of Gautam Buddha Nagar Police in Noida apprehended three individuals from Delhi involved in a major cyber fraud syndicate. The suspects were engaged in creating fake companies, opening bank accounts in their names, and transferring fraudulently obtained funds to legitimize the money. The police seized mobile phones, cash, a rubber stamp, and crucial documents from the accused.
The arrested individuals, identified as Avinash Jha, Himanshu Kumar, and Jitendra Dahiya alias Ashu, confessed to setting up fictitious companies and using these entities’ bank accounts for money laundering.
