The Rajasthan Police busted an interstate cyber fraud gang operating from Bihar following a woman’s suicide. Officers arrested six accused individuals, including gang leader Ajit Yadav, after conducting coordinated multi-district raids.
Authorities also detained three juveniles involved in the scam. Police launched the investigation after receiving a complaint from the victim’s daughter, Kalpana Thakur.
The victim, 56-year-old Madhubala Thakur, resided in Jhalawar, Rajasthan. Fraudsters initially contacted her under the name ‘RJ Gyani Old Coin Company’ on social media.
The criminals falsely promised to purchase old and rare coins for millions of rupees. They gradually extorted lakhs of rupees from the victim through multiple small transactions.
When Thakur demanded her money back, the suspects initiated aggressive blackmail tactics. They sent AI-generated photos and videos to intimidate and exploit her further.
The fraudsters forged Delhi Police notices to fabricate false criminal charges against her. They even created fake media showing police officers assaulting a young man.
The gang threatened to implicate her son in a serious criminal case. Unable to endure the relentless harassment, Thakur tragically took her own life.
Technical teams traced the extorted money using mobile phone data and digital trails. Three police teams traveled 1,500 kilometers to Bihar to arrest the suspects.
Local police in Saharsa, Madhepura, and Khagaria assisted the Rajasthan officers during raids. Investigators seized several mobile phones used for committing the financial fraud.
A local court granted transit remand to transport the accused back to Rajasthan. The court remanded the six adults into three days of police custody.
Authorities sent the three detained juveniles directly to an observation home. Police continue interrogating the suspects to uncover the full extent of their criminal network.
