LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (UP STF) arrested Suresh Kumar Sain, the alleged mastermind behind a ‘digital arrest’ cyber fraud syndicate, at IGI Airport in New Delhi on Sunday. Sain, 43, a school dropout from Rajasthan, had fled to Cambodia after orchestrating multiple scams across India, including the notorious ‘digital arrest’ frauds.
According to Additional SP Vishal Vikram Singh, Suresh led a criminal network that impersonated officers from agencies like the CBI, Narcotics Bureau, and Crime Branch. The syndicate manipulated victims into believing they were under investigation, using fear and deception to extort money.
The STF seized Cambodian employment cards, SIM cards, an ABA Bank ATM card, and $160 in cash from the suspect.
