Mumbai Police uncovered a nationwide cyber fraud worth ₹60 crores, arresting 12 people in Kandivali. Officials seized hundreds of SIM cards, passbooks, and digital evidence in a major crackdown.

Mumbai Police Busts ₹60 Crore Cyber Fraud Racket in Kandivali

12 Arrested in Multi-Crore Scam Targeting Citizens Nationwide

In a major breakthrough against cybercrime, the Mumbai Police Cyber Cell has dismantled a sophisticated cyber fraud network responsible for swindling unsuspecting citizens of over ₹60 crores. The crackdown took place in Kandivali, Mumbai, leading to the arrest of 12 accused who were allegedly operating a well-organized racket spanning across states.

During the operation, police seized hundreds of SIM cards, multiple bank passbooks, mobile phones, and digital records used to siphon money from victims. Investigators believe the group was part of a larger syndicate that has been active for months.


How the Cyber Fraud Racket Operated

According to initial investigations, the arrested accused used fake SIM cards and multiple bank accounts to launder money. They posed as representatives of banks, insurance companies, and government agencies to trick victims into sharing OTPs, bank details, or transferring money under false promises.

Once the funds were deposited, the money was quickly moved through a chain of mule accounts using fraudulent passbooks to make tracing difficult. Officials revealed that the gang had connections across states, making it a nationwide scam with victims from several cities.

Police sources stated that the group used social engineering techniques and targeted people through calls, phishing links, and fake job or loan offers.


Massive Seizure in Kandivali Raid

The Kandivali raid turned out to be a major success for Mumbai Police. Among the seized items were:

  • Over 200 SIM cards used for making fraudulent calls.
  • Dozens of bank passbooks linked to fake or compromised accounts.
  • Mobile phones and laptops containing transaction details.
  • Digital records mapping the fraudulent network.

Officials confirmed that forensic experts are analyzing the seized devices to uncover the full extent of the operation and identify further links.


Statements from Mumbai Police

A senior police officer described the bust as “one of the biggest cyber fraud seizures in recent times.” He highlighted that cyber frauds have become increasingly sophisticated, and criminals are using technology, fake identities, and financial mule networks to exploit loopholes in the system.

The officer further added, “With this operation, we have not only arrested 12 key members but also disrupted a major channel of cybercrime. More arrests are likely as the investigation continues.”


Cybercrime on the Rise in India

The bust underscores the growing threat of cybercrime in India. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), financial fraud through digital platforms has witnessed a steep rise in the last few years.

Common cyber scams include:

  • Fake KYC update calls.
  • Fraudulent loan and job offers.
  • Phishing links impersonating banks or government portals.
  • Investment scams promising quick returns.

Experts warn that such scams thrive because many citizens unknowingly share personal data or fall prey to attractive offers.


How to Stay Safe from Cyber Fraud

Mumbai Police issued an advisory urging people to remain cautious. Citizens are advised to:

  • Never share bank details, OTPs, or PINs over phone calls.
  • Verify the identity of callers claiming to be from banks or government bodies.
  • Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown apps.
  • Use official apps and websites for financial transactions.
  • Report cyber fraud immediately on the National Cybercrime Helpline 1930 or through the Cybercrime.gov.in portal.

The Road Ahead

While the Kandivali bust has dealt a blow to cybercriminals, authorities believe many similar rackets are still operating across the country. Mumbai Police has vowed to intensify its cybercrime monitoring and awareness campaigns to protect citizens.

This successful operation serves as a wake-up call for both law enforcement agencies and the public. With digital payments and online banking becoming integral to daily life, vigilance against cyber threats has become more important than ever.
