Overview
- A New Delhi woman’s complaint of a ₹1.14 lakh loss on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal triggered the probe led by the Cyber Police Station.
- Investigators traced UPI transfers to accounts tied to the suspect and family members, then arrested him in a Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, raid on October 9.
- Police say the accused ran multiple fake Instagram profiles and a website named AGHORI_JI_RAJASTHAN to pitch breakup fixes, “boyfriend control,” and black-magic removal.
- The scheme allegedly targeted more than 50 victims across states using AI-generated visuals of spirits and rituals boosted through paid social ads.
- Officers seized phones, SIM cards, bank instruments, and site data, which are now with cyber forensics including I4C to map more victims and potential accomplices.
