Six cybercriminals held in Dumka

Dumka: Six cybercriminals, who duped several people of the money through their e-wallets, were arrested in Dumka, police said on Sunday.
Dumka DSP (cyber) Sriram Samad said, “Initially, two criminals — Rijwan Ansari and Irshad Ansari — of Morne village under Mohanpur police station of Deoghar district were arrested near an ATM at Taljhari. Later, four more were nabbed on their information during interrogation.”
Samad said the six used to dupe people using Anydesk, a remote desktop access application, pretending as executives of e-wallet service providers. “They used to make customers install this application on their phones citing easy KYC updates and later duped them of their money through bank accounts and e-wallets,” the DSP said.
Samad further said, “Once installed, the cybercriminals used to get access to all details of the victim’s accounts without even needing to call them. This seems to be the new modus operandi.” The DSP added that 10 more members of the gang are at large and efforts are on to arrest them.
