Patiala, Sept. 3 -- The Patiala cyber cell on Tuesday arrested four members of a local gang allegedly linked to an international cyber fraud racket operating in Philippines. The gang is accused of supplying bank account details and mobile SIM cards to fraudsters based in Philippines, facilitating online scams amounting to over Rs.40 crore. Those arrested have been identified as Pankaj, Arshdeep and Manga Singh, all residents of Patiala. The fourth suspect's identity is being withheld for operational reasons. They have been booked under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 351(2), 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and 66C of the IT Act. Superintendent of police (cyber crime and economic offences) Aaswant Singh Dhaliwal said the gang exploited unemployed youth by offering them fake job opportunities. "The accused lured victims into opening bank accounts under the pretext of salary deposits. They retained their ATM cards and net banking credentials and sold the complete access to cyber fraudsters in Philippines," the SP added. The fraudsters-identified as Babu and Sumi, reportedly of Punjab origin but currently based in Philippines-used these accounts as mule accounts to move illicit funds from cybercrime victims across India. SP Dhaliwal said that over 30 such bank accounts have already been identified as being part of this racket. One savings bank account was sold for Rs.10,000, whereas a current bank account was sold for 40,000 each to the fraudsters in Philippines....
