Twenty-five cyber fraudsters operating from seven different states and linked to 453 cases across India, with 66 of these impacting victims within Telangana, have been arrested by the Cyber Crime Police Station in Hyderabad. Just in the month of June, the Cyber Crime unit successfully refunded Rs 72.85 lakh to victims. The National Lok Adalat held on June 14, 2025, also saw an additional Rs 3.67 crore refunded in 64 cases. The police seized valuable evidence from the arrested individuals, including 34 mobile phones, 20 cheque books, 17 debit cards, 16 passbooks, 8 SIM cards, and Rs 1 lakh in cash, highlighting the scale of these illicit operations.
The June crackdown brought to light several high-value fraud cases. These include a ‘Stock Trading Scam’ (Rs 2.59 crore loss), in which the victim was lured through Facebook and WhatsApp into investing in a fictitious trading platform, FINALTORG.COM. Two accused from Haryana have been arrested in connection with this significant loss.
