More than Rs 1,500 crore in transactions have been discovered so far by the Madhya Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (MP ATS) in a cybercrime investigation in Gurugram, which authorities claim is connected to foreign funding for terrorism.
According to those acquainted with the probe, around Rs 1,500 crore was made through cyber fraud, with a significant portion of the sum flowing to anti-national groups. Before transferring the money to other nations, especially Dubai, the individuals implicated in financing terrorism had stored it in a number of bank accounts.
After that, the money was taken out and distributed among con artists. When the MP ATS stormed an apartment and arrested six individuals for suspected participation in cybercrime, the Gurugram case gained attention. One suspect, Himanshu Kumar, is said to have attempted to flee from jail during the operation and fell from the third storey of a hotel.
Nine MP ATS employees were suspended after the Gurugram police filed a murder charge against them after his death in custody. This hasn’t stopped the MP ATS from looking into the connections to terror funding, either. After a group of cybercriminals was apprehended by the Jabalpur cyber police, the ATS became engaged in the investigation. The ATS found evidence of terror funding during the inquiry.
Through the promise of advantages from government-run programs like Kisan Samman Nidhi, old-age pensions, Sambal Yojana, and jobless scholarships, the racketeers tricked people into establishing bank accounts. Fake gaming links were used for betting and money syphoning. Additionally, the investigations have exposed the suspected participation of bank personnel and executives. To open bank accounts, the racketeers exploited the common men’s papers, Aadhaar ID, and PAN card.
