Shocking Arrest: Four Caught Red-Handed in Guwahati for Selling Bank Accounts to Hackers
Guwahati: Assam Police Arrest Four for Alleged Involvement in Cyber Crime Network
In a significant development of an ongoing cybercrime investigation, a team from the Assam police apprehended four individuals in Guwahati’s Sijubari area. The suspects, identified as Mukhtar Ali, Mustafa Hussain, Mirajul Hussain, and Javed Ali, were detained at the Hotel Royal. They are accused of creating and selling fraudulent bank accounts to hackers located outside the state, notably in Dubai.
The accused allegedly opened these accounts under other individuals’ names through deception or coercion, subsequently selling them to cybercriminals. These transactions reportedly included sales for as much as Rs 80,000 per account, which were then used to launder illicit funds.
This arrest marks the continuation of a broader crackdown on cybercrime within the region, following several previous arrests for similar offenses. Authorities are now delving deeper into possible connections between these suspects and external cybercriminal networks.
As the investigation progresses, Assam police are working to dismantle more elements of the cybercrime nexus that appears to extend beyond national borders.
