Jaipur & Rajasthan · Coverage through mid-to-late July 2026

Rajasthan’s cyber crime units have had a busy few weeks — a ₹50 crore fake trading racket, a five-state ATM fraud gang, and a statewide operation that has already blocked over a lakh SIM cards. Here’s a roundup of what’s been happening in and around Jaipur.

₹50 Crore Fake Trading Platform Racket Busted

July 16–17, 2026

Rajasthan Police’s cyber crime unit dismantled an interstate fraud network accused of cheating investors of more than ₹50 crore through fake online trading platforms. Among the victims was a doctor from Jaipur. Two company directors based in Delhi were arrested for their alleged role in routing the fraudulently obtained money through a web of shell company bank accounts, a tactic increasingly common in cases where investigators need to trace layered financial trails before they can identify the people actually running the scheme.

Interstate ATM Card Fraud Ring Cracked

In a separate case, police busted an ATM card fraud racket linked to roughly 500 incidents spread across five states. The arrests followed a 250-kilometre police pursuit, after which the accused reportedly confessed to their role in the operation. The scale of the case underlines how ATM and card-skimming fraud continues to operate as an organised, multi-state enterprise rather than a series of isolated local crimes.

“Cyber Sangram 3.0”: A Statewide Crackdown Widens

Mid-July 2026

On the direction of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Rajasthan Police extended its ongoing cyber crackdown into Alwar and Deeg districts under the third phase of “Cyber Sangram.” In Alwar, more than 1.37 lakh SIM cards linked to suspicious activity were blocked, while the Deeg operation led to 27 arrests. The state says this sustained pressure is showing results: active cyber fraud hotspots in the region reportedly fell from around 1,240 in January 2026 to 689 by June 2026.

Alongside the SIM blocking drive, a parallel “Mule Hunter” operation carried out between April and May 2026 targeted the fraudulent and rented bank accounts used to launder scam proceeds, part of a broader push to disrupt the financial infrastructure fraud networks depend on rather than just chasing individual scammers after the fact.

A Smaller, Still-Developing Case in Jaipur

Local reporting also pointed to a separate cyber crime action within Jaipur itself, where five people were arrested, roughly ₹2.85 crore in attempted fraud was intercepted, and mobile devices worth about ₹1 crore were seized. Details on the exact nature of the scam remain limited in what’s been published so far, but it adds to a pattern of near-weekly cyber enforcement activity across the city and state this July.

The Bigger Picture

• Shell companies and rented bank accounts remain the backbone of how fraud proceeds move and get laundered before reaching the people running the scheme.
• Fake trading and investment platforms continue to be one of the most damaging scam categories by rupee value, often targeting professionals and educated victims.
• Bulk SIM-blocking and mule-account operations reflect a shift toward disrupting fraud infrastructure at scale, not just responding case by case.
• Residents are advised to verify any trading app or investment platform independently, avoid unsolicited investment tips on WhatsApp or Telegram, and report suspected fraud via the national cyber helpline (1930) or cybercrime.gov.in.

With Cyber Sangram 3.0 still underway and multiple interstate cases actively being investigated, more arrests and disclosures are likely in the coming weeks as Rajasthan Police continues working through the financial trails these operations have surfaced.
