In a major crackdown on financial fraud, the Cyber Crime Police of Gautam Buddh Nagar arrested three men running a racket of fake companies to launder money from cyber scams.
Acting on local intelligence and technical inputs, police raided Sector‑44, Noida on May 22, 2026, and nabbed three accused—Avinash Jha (29), Himanshu Kumar (26), and Jitendra Dahiya alias Ashu (27). The gang allegedly created shell companies and opened current accounts in multiple banks to receive and disguise proceeds of cyber fraud.
From their possession, police recovered five mobile phones used in the crimes, ₹2,800 in cash, official seals, and incriminating documents. Preliminary investigation revealed suspicious transactions worth crores routed through these accounts. The accused admitted during interrogation that they used the accounts to collect scam money and transfer it further to make it appear legitimate.
Authorities confirmed that complaints against the gang are registered across Karnataka, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and other states. A case has been filed under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and IT Act at the Cyber Crime Police Station, Gautam Buddh Nagar.
Police also issued vital cyber safety advisories, urging citizens not to open bank accounts or register firms at the behest of strangers, avoid sharing confidential banking details, and immediately report suspicious transactions to banks or the national cyber helpline 1930.
