Gwalior police have dismantled a large cyber fraud network and arrested a suspect from Navi Mumbai in a Rs 5.37 lakh online‑trading scam, investigators said.
Gwalior cyber crime police announced the discovery of a sophisticated fraud network that operated through online trading platforms, enticing victims with promises of high returns and bonus payouts.
During a 12‑day window, the ring transferred roughly Rs 1.25 crore from compromised accounts, using the lure of large profits to swindle investors.
In a related case involving Rs 5.37 lakh, officers apprehended a suspect from Navi Mumbai, alleged to have coordinated the scheme and facilitated the illicit transactions.
Authorities said the perpetrators employed fake websites and social‑media messages to attract unsuspecting traders, and investigations are ongoing to identify additional members.
The bust underscores the rising threat of cyber‑crime in central India, prompting officials to warn the public against unsolicited investment offers.
