The Cyber Crimes police of Hyderabad have arrested three men from Rajasthan for their alleged involvement in a digital arrest fraud in which a city resident was coerced into transferring ₹37,70,000.
An officer from the wing said that a complaint was received on July 11, 2025 at 12.30 p.m. The fraudsters allegedly posed as officials from the Telecom and Police Departments, using forged electronic documents to claim the victim was involved in illegal activity. Officers said the callers threatened the complainant with a so-called digital arrest and instructed him to move his savings into bank accounts provided by them for supposed verification.
Investigators said Mohammed Rijwan, 20, a student from Churimiyan Gav in Sikar district, was arrested along with Vikram Singh, 20, an accounts supplier from Churimiyan Gav, Laxmangarh, and Nikhil Kumar, 19, a student from Almas Gav in also Sikar district. Three mobile phones were seized during the operation.
According to the officer, the trio worked on commission by providing access to bank accounts used by cyber fraud networks. Officers said they are linked to six cases across Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Telangana, with transactions amounting to about ₹3 crore routed through the accounts under scrutiny.
