Beware of the ‘Digital Arrest’ Trap!

Mr. V. Aravind Babu, DCP Cybercrime, Hyderabad, breaks down the sophisticated machinery behind a recent ₹1.07 Crore fraud case.

Cybercriminals aren’t just individuals; they are organised networks working in parallel:

•The Communication Hub: Using VPNs, VOIP calls, and pre-activated SIMs to remain untraceable.

•Account Procurement: Sourcing ‘mule accounts’ to receive and move stolen funds.

•Money Routing: Rapidly layering transactions across states to hide the trail.

Investigation Update: Hyderabad Police have successfully tracked the ‘first-layer’ accounts across Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Mumbai, leading to key arrests.

Remember Law enforcement agencies will NEVER “arrest” you over a video call or demand money to clear your name.
