On August 6, 2025, the Muzaffarpur police received a tip-off about a financial dispute involving three youths at a hotel near the SKMCH. Upon investigation, the police uncovered a major interstate cyber fraud operation.
The police have arrested four suspects - Abhishek Pandey from Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, and Krishna Kumar Singh and Vikram Kumar Singh from Madhubani, Bihar, as well as Guddu Kumar. The suspects were found to be operating under the cover of a fictitious NGO, using forged documents and fake Aadhaar cards to facilitate their fraudulent activities.
The police have recovered several incriminating items from the suspects, including bank passbooks, chequebooks, cellphones, and documents related to the fake NGO. Further interrogation revealed that the gang had carried out fraudulent transactions amounting to a staggering $10.33 million.
A special investigation team has been constituted to probe the case further. The team's actions, based on information provided by the arrested suspects, led to the recovery of additional evidence, including cellphones, laptops, biometric devices, and more fake Aadhaar card receipts.
The police have stated that the investigation has uncovered over 20 cyber fraud complaints linked to the suspects' mobile numbers and bank accounts across different states. The dismantling of this interstate cyber fraud gang is a significant victory for the Muzaffarpur police in their ongoing efforts to combat financial crimes.
