Kerala Man Arrested in Cambodia-Based Cyber Fraud Ring Involving Hundreds of Victims A Kerala-based man has been arrested in a large-scale cyber fraud operation centered in Cambodia, where he allegedly orchestrated the trafficking of over 100 individuals, including Kerala residents. The arrest was made by the Cochin City Cyber Crime Police, who tracked the suspect to Delhi and apprehended him after he attempted to flee to Cambodia. The investigation, codenamed "Operation Cambodia," revealed a sophisticated scheme involving social media platforms, matrimonial websites, and financial fraud. The accused, identified as Abdurahman from Palakkad, used fake profiles on matrimonial sites to lure victims, often posing as doctors or professionals. He then manipulated individuals into transferring large sums of money, claiming to offer lucrative trading opportunities or fake loan schemes. The operation reportedly involved over 100 victims, with women and men targeted through deceptive profiles. The suspect allegedly extorted 37 lakh rupees from victims before fleeing to Cambodia. The police discovered that the stolen funds were initially transferred to Indian money laundering accounts, then funneled through agents to evade detection. The money was further moved abroad via Hawala networks, cryptocurrency transactions, and other illicit channels. The Cochin Cyber Crime Police, led by Inspector Anil Kumar, coordinated with central agencies to trace the suspect’s movements and intercept his flight to Cambodia. The case highlights the growing threat of cross-border cybercrime, with perpetrators exploiting social media and digital platforms to exploit vulnerable individuals.#kerala #abdurahman #cochin_city_cyber_crime_police #operation_cambodia #inspector_anil_kumar
