Multiple Arrests in Cyber Fraud and Theft Cases

Cyber Fraud Crackdown: One Arrested for ₹50,000 Scam

In a recent cyber fraud case, Kaithal police arrested a man who lured a victim using a fake reward point message. The accused, Yuvraj Beniwal from Ghavd village in Hisar, was caught following an investigation led by ASI Vinod Kumar from the cyber crime unit.

The complainant, Vivek from Kaithal, reported receiving a message on December 31. It claimed he had 13,679 SBI reward points, with a link to redeem them. Clicking the link opened a fake SBI website. He entered his ID, password, and OTP. Later, a message asked for his PAN and father’s name. After submitting further details, ₹50,000 was deducted from his account.

Realizing the fraud, he reported it to the cyber police. A case was registered. The police recovered ₹7,000 from the accused and are continuing legal proceedings.

Under the leadership of SI Pradeep Kumar, officers Jaybhagwan, Subhkaran, Ashok Kumar, and Anil Kumar arrested Pradeep, Jaibir, Sandeep, and Babli—all residents of Dharmtan Sahib, Jind. During questioning, they confessed to four thefts—two in Kaithal and two in Hisar.
