今年6月，就读于德里大学拉姆贾斯学院二年级的法蒂玛（Fatima）据称正在浏览Instagram时，看到了一则关于“Kavya Kurti”这家销售女式库尔塔（一种印度传统上装）服装公司的广告。她点进去并挑选了心仪的款式。
In June, Fatima, a second-year student at Delhi University’s Ramjas College, was allegedly scrolling on Instagram when she came across an of Kavya Kurti, an apparel firm selling kurtas for women. She clicked on it and took her pick.
一名警官表示：“当她准备下单时，被重定向到了WhatsApp。她下了一笔价值799卢比的订单，并通过二维码预先支付了400卢比。”
“When she was ready to order, she was redirected to WhatsApp. She placed an order worth ₹799 and paid ₹400 in advance through a QR code,” said a police officer.
据警方称，法蒂玛据称并不知情，该公司是虚假的，且关联账户涉及一起价值30亿卢比的网络诈骗案。
What Fatima was allegedly unaware of was that the firm was fake, and the linked account was part of a Rs 30 crore cyber fraud, according to police.
据调查人员称，下单后，法蒂玛接到一个要求追加付款的电话——这是网络诈骗分子惯用的伎俩。北区副警察专员（DCP）尼哈里卡·巴特（Niharika Bhatt）表示：“联系卖家后，她被要求支付1150卢比作为生成代码的可退还费用，随后又以类似借口被要求进一步支付2000卢比、2650卢比和650卢比。尽管收到了款项，该名嫌疑卖家既未发货，也未退款。”
After placing the order, as per the investigators, Fatima got a call with demands for more payment — a trap usually followed by cyber fraudsters. “On contacting the seller, she was asked to pay ₹1,150 as a refundable charge for generating the code, followed by further payments of ₹2,000, ₹2,650 and ₹650 on similar pretexts. Despite receiving the payments, the alleged seller neither delivered the parcel nor refunded the amount,” said DCP (North) Niharika Bhatt.
警方称，法蒂玛意识到自己被骗了6500卢比后，向网络警察局报了案。随后展开调查，由助理警察专员（ACP）维谢什·达特瓦尔（Vishesh Dhatterwal）和副警察专员（Additional DCP）拉姆·杜莱什·米纳（Ram Dulesh Meena）牵头。警方追踪资金流向，查出一家涉嫌空壳公司。
After Fatima realised that she was duped of Rs 6,500, she lodged a complaint with the Cyber Police, said officers. An investigation was taken up, led by ACP Vishesh Dhatterwal and Additional (DCP) Ram Dulesh Meena. Police tracked the payment trail, which led them to an alleged shell corporation.
一名警官表示：“被骗款项通过Pine Labs商户账户流向了位于格雷特诺伊达的Kizentech Solutions Pvt. Ltd.在肯纳拉银行（Canara Bank）的账户，该账户与阿迪蒂亚·米什拉（Aditya Mishra）和乌迪特·普拉塔普·辛格·巴达乌里亚（Udit Pratap Singh Bhadauriya）有关联。”
“The cheated amount was traced through Pine Labs Merchant to a Canara Bank account of Kizentech Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Greater Noida linked to Aditya Mishra and Udit Pratap Singh Bhadauriya,” said a police officer.
调查人员还追踪了通过嫌疑WhatsApp号码在各类应用上下的在线订单，发现线索指向格雷特诺伊达的一个地址。警方突击搜查该场所，抓获六名男子——阿迪蒂亚·米什拉、阿尤什·维尔马（Ayush Verma）、阿比谢克·帕尔（Abhishek Pal）、希曼舒·拉纳（Himanshu Rana）、拉胡尔·库马尔（Rahul Kumar）和高拉夫·潘德（Gaurav Pandey）。
Investigators also tracked the online orders made through the suspected Whatsapp number on various apps, and found links to an address in Greater Noida. This premises was raided, and six men — Aditya Mishra, Ayush Verma, Abhishek Pal, Himanshu Rana, Rahul Kumar and Gaurav Pandey —were nabbed.
“在大诺伊达租赁场所的突击搜查中，发现了三家涉嫌公司——Kizentech Solutions Pvt. Ltd.、Executive Edge 和 Nexcore。警方缴获了多部手机、SIM 卡、银行文件和电子设备，”Bhatt 副警察专员说。
“Raids at rented premises in Greater Noida uncovered three suspected firms—Kizentech Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Executive Edge and Nexcore. Several mobile phones, SIM cards, banking documents and electronic devices were recovered,” said DCP Bhatt.
警方称，所有六名嫌疑人均为受过良好教育、精通技术的人员。拥有 BBA 学位的 Pandey 据称是主谋。
All six accused, police said, were well-educated tech-savvy individuals. With a BBA degree, Pandey was allegedly the mastermind.
他向犯罪集团其他成员每人支付 2.5 万卢比，并传授他们设立公司和开设账户的诀窍。
He paid others in the syndicate Rs. 25,000 each, and told them the know-how of setting up companies and opening accounts.
“Aditya Mishra 供述，他与 Udit Pratap Singh Bhadauriya、Ayush Verma 和 Abhishek Pal 成立了空壳公司并开设了活期银行账户。他们将账户详情以每月 2.5 万卢比的报酬交给了 Himanshu Rana 和 Rahul Kumar，”Bhatt 副警察专员说。
“Aditya Mishra disclosed that he, along with Udit Pratap Singh Bhadauriya, Ayush Verma and Abhishek Pal, had established fake firms and opened current bank accounts. They handed the details of the accounts to Himanshu Rana and Rahul Kumar against a monthly payment of ₹25,000,” said DCP Bhatt.
进一步线索导致警方于 10 月 10 日在坎普尔逮捕了 Udit Pratap Singh Bhadauriya，被捕总人数增至七人。
Further leads resulted in the arrest of Udit Pratap Singh Bhadauriya from Kanpur on October 10, taking the total to seven arrests.
Rana 和 Rahul 将账户文件和工具包交给 Pandey，后者再转交给 Maxwell 和 Solitaire 以获取佣金。这些账户据称被用于接收和转移通过网络诈骗获得的资金。
Rana and Rahul would give the account documents, and kits to Pandey, who would then give it to Maxwell and Solitaire for a commission. These accounts were allegedly used to receive and route money obtained through cyber frauds.
警方随后获悉，该团伙运营的不止一家，而是三家空壳公司，已转移了价值 3 亿卢比的网络犯罪赃款。
Police then got to know that it wasn’t just one, but three shell companies operated by the group, already siphoned Rs. 30 crore worth of cyber proceeds.
