'Digital arrest' mastermind held on return from Cambodia

LUCKNOW: UP STF arrested the mastermind of a ‘digital arrest’ cyber fraud syndicate from IGI Airport in New Delhi Sunday. STF identified the suspect as Suresh Kumar Sain, 43, a school dropout hailing from Rajasthan. He fled to Cambodia after a series of scams across India, including ‘digital arrest’ frauds.
Vishal Vikram Singh, additional SP, STF, said Suresh built a network of criminals who impersonated officers from CBI, Narcotics Bureau, and Crime Branch to deceive victims into believing they are under probe. Through fear and manipulation, the syndicate extorted money from the targets, he said.
STF recovered Cambodian employment cards, SIM cards, an ABA Bank ATM card, and $160 in cash from Suresh.
