Overview
- The Special Task Force detained six suspects on February 13 after tracing operations to makeshift call‑centre setups in Indirapuram and Greater Noida’s Shahberi.
- Police say the threatening email appeared to originate from the United States, with a linked recovery address traced to Bangladesh and India, leading officers to the Noida-area locations.
- Recovered evidence includes four laptops, 22 mobile phones, Nepali passports, forged Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, multiple bank cards, and a small amount of cash.
- Those arrested were identified as Amish Jung Karki, Anant Kumar, Divyashu, Sahil Kumar, Lekhnath Sharma, and Kedarnath, including several Nepali nationals residing in Ghaziabad.
- Officials allege the group ran illegal online betting apps, used VPNs, fake GPS tools, and multiple email IDs, targeted victims in the US, India, and Nepal, and remains under investigation for motive, finances, and additional members.
