During interrogation, Panwar revealed that he was acting under the instructions of a cyber fraud syndicate ringleader based in Dubai.
Fraudsters who were running an international cyber scam racket were using Arunachal Pradesh and Assam to procure SIM cards and con unsuspecting people. This was revealed after the Rajasthan Police Headquarters’ Anti Gangster Task Force arrested Yashwant Singh Panwar, a resident Shastri Nagar in Jaipur after the police found him visiting the Jaipur International Airport too frequently and living a lavish life even though he did not have a proper job.
During interrogation, Panwar revealed that he was acting under the instructions of a cyber fraud syndicate ringleader based in Dubai.
Panwar, sitting in Jaipur, procured active SIM cards from Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, registered these SIM cards under fictitious names and addresses. These SIM cards were then sent to the cyber fraud group in Dubai. The SIM cards were ordered in Jaipur and transported via courier on flights to Dubai.
The Rajasthan Police Headquarters’ Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF) uncovered the international cyber fraud ring after picking up Panwar for interrogation.
The police seized 61 active mobile SIM cards and two mobile phones from him. He is currently in custody and undergoing thorough interrogation. This operation was conducted under the guidance of AGTF Additional SP Siddhant Sharma, based on information provided by Head Constable Hemant Sharma.
