Kishanganj police have arrested a man for allegedly using money obtained through cyber fraud. This arrest is part of an ongoing crackdown against the rising cybercrimes in the district. According to police sources, the arrested accused's bank accounts are linked to various cyber fraud gangs operating in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

The police stated that the accused would receive money defrauded by cybercriminals into his accounts and then withdraw or transfer it further. In this way, he was not directly involved in the fraud but was helping to 'launder' the ill-gotten gains. The police received confidential information, based on which a special team was formed, and the accused was apprehended in a raid.

The investigation revealed that the accused's bank accounts were opened in the names of several shell companies and individuals, which cybercriminals used to carry out their fraudulent activities. These accounts often acted as 'mule accounts,' through which the defrauded money was rapidly transferred from one account to another to make it difficult to track. Police are now investigating how long the accused has been associated with this gang and how much money he has transacted so far.

The Kishanganj Superintendent of Police stated that the police are continuously active in dealing with cybercrime, and individuals involved in such cases will not be spared. He also appealed to the general public not to trust any unknown person or suspicious links and not to share their bank information with anyone. The police also warned that any involvement in cyber fraud, whether direct or indirect, can lead to serious legal consequences. This arrest is expected to help break the network of cybercriminals.
