Nagda, April 20, 2025 — In one of Madhya Pradesh’s largest cyber fraud cases, six individuals have been arrested from Nagda, Ujjain district, in connection with a ₹2.5 crore digital arrest scam. The Gwalior Crime Branch, acting on crucial leads, made the arrests late Saturday night, revealing disturbing misuse of digital tools to extort funds from Swami Sudiptanand, Secretary of Ramakrishna Mission, Gwalior.
Cyber Trap: Digital Arrest and Financial Drain
The 26-day-long digital captivity of Swami Sudiptanand involved psychological manipulation and threats, leading to the illegal transfer of ₹2.5 crore from his bank account. The suspects allegedly impersonated enforcement authorities, using fake legal threats to trap the spiritual leader into online compliance and forced payments.
Ratan Singh Rathore from the Gwalior Crime Branch confirmed that transaction trails of a significant portion of the defrauded funds were found linked to the bank accounts of the arrested individuals.
Who Was Arrested?
As per Nagda Police Station In-Charge Amritlal Gawli, the six individuals apprehended include:
-
RahuI Kahar (22) Chetanpura, Nagda
-
Tushar Game (26) Shriram Colony, Nagda
-
Karan Vinagya (19) Local resident
-
Shubham Rathore (23) Local resident
-
Vishwajeet Barman (42) Lonad City, Ratlam
-
Kajal Jaiswal (27) Indira Nagar, Ujjain
Kajal, a former employee of Bandhan Bank, Nagda branch, is believed to have played a key role in facilitating bank-related transactions. Investigators found suspicious ₹9.90 lakh routed through the suspects’ accounts.
The Mastermind Still at Large
The alleged ringleader, Uday Mahendra Kumar, remains absconding. Investigators uncovered WhatsApp chats from Uday’s phone that pointed to the involvement of the arrested individuals and shed light on the modus operandi used to execute the scam.
It was Uday’s chat logs that revealed how the Ramakrishna Mission secretary was kept under psychological pressure and digitally manipulated into transferring large sums of money.
Investigations Ongoing
Authorities are tracing the digital money trail, examining call records, and exploring potential bank insider roles that may have enabled the scam. Law enforcement is confident that more arrests may follow as the scope of the network becomes clearer.
