Kanpur, April 14 -- Kanpur police on Monday arrested eight men for allegedly running a cyber fraud network that used prohibited betting apps and fake websites to swindle victims. Investigators said the operation had links to Dubai and processed transactions worth over Rs 100 crore in three months, police commissioner Raghubir Lal said. The arrests were made in two groups in the Barra area. A case has been registered at Barra police station under sections of the BNS and the IT Act. Police said the gang operated through platforms carrying the names Lotus365, Reddy Book, Kartikey and Dubai Exch, recruiting victims via Telegram and, according to investigators, the dark web. Victims were initially allowed to win small amounts to build trust; once larger sums were staked, the "master ID" ensured they lost. The accused worked as agents on salaries ranging from Rs 12,000 to Rs 17,000 a month, supplemented by per-transaction commissions. To avoid detection, they conducted online transfers while travelling in moving vehicles, preventing multiple transactions from being traced to a single location. They operated what police described as "bonding accounts" to route the funds. Police seized 26 mobile phones, a laptop, 54 ATM cards, 26 passbooks, 30 SIM cards and two vehicles. The ATM cards and passbooks were linked to accounts across several states, including Telangana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Cash of Rs 13 lakh was recovered, and approximately Rs 90 lakh has been frozen across linked accounts. "The network's financial transactions over the past three months exceeded Rs 100 crore," Raghuvir Lal said, adding that investigators were working to trace other members....
