The Ahmedabad Cyber Cell has arrested 11 individuals from Rajasthan involved in illegally altering Aadhaar card addresses and opening bank accounts for fraudulent transactions. The gang allegedly provided these accounts to Chinese cybercriminals, facilitating large-scale financial scams across multiple states, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Karnataka.
Following intelligence reports, a raid was conducted at House No. C-705, Pashva Residency, Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, where several individuals were found involved in cyber fraud. Upon questioning, one of them, Suresh Jagdish Bishnoi, identified himself as the leader, revealing that all others were from Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
During interrogation, it was discovered that these individuals had been opening multiple bank accounts using fraudulent Aadhaar cards in Ahmedabad and were handing over all banking materials—passbooks, chequebooks, and ATM cards—to Bishnoi. These materials were then sent to Sunil Virani, the mastermind operating from Jodhpur.
Further scrutiny of the Aadhaar cards revealed six instances of manipulated addresses, where the original data had been altered using OTP verification.
