Ahmedabad Police busts 'Boss Scam' cyber ring; Pakistan-China links found
The investigation revealed that the scale of the scam is massive, with 251 complaints already registered against this group across 26 different states in India.
Ahmedabad Police Commissioner Anupam Singh Gehlot announced the dismantling of a cybercrime ring operating from Pakistan and China in a recent press conference. The gang provided infrastructure for cyberfrauds, allegedly working for four to five years. Two arrests were made in West Bengal, with further investigations underway. The group facilitated cyberattacks by supplying SIM cards and using Chinese malware, according to Gehlot.
The scam reportedly involved 251 complaints from 26 Indian states, with the accused charging ₹100 per OTP. They shifted to WhatsApp groups from Telegram to avoid detection. Approximately 21,000 OTPs were given out, and the operation was shut down. CP Gehlot advised citizens to stay vigilant and not to access unverified files or click suspicious links.
