Nuh (Mewat) Cyber Crime Hub Crackdown

Law enforcement agencies have intensified crackdowns on a vast cyber fraud network spanning the Mewat region, particularly covering parts of Haryana's Nuh district and the newly carved Deeg district in Rajasthan. Investigators reported that the area has emerged as a major hub for digital financial crimes, including online trading scams, digital arrest frauds, task-based schemes, phishing, sextortion, and fraudulent advertisements involving fake rentals, jobs, and illicit goods.

According to police reports, gangs operating in the region utilized organized syndicates where different members handled specific tasks. These included sourcing fake or forged SIM cards from other states, acquiring mule bank accounts in exchange for commissions, making deceptive calls, and withdrawing or routing scam money. Authorities noted the involvement of various suspects, including an alleged mastermind who remains absconding, local recruits, and in some instances, minors utilized by the networks.

State police forces and specialized units have launched targeted operations—such as Operation Anti Virus in the neighboring Bharatpur range—utilizing technical war rooms, tracking digital footprints, and analyzing mobile tower locations. Authorities have executed numerous raids, resulting in hundreds of arrests, the filing of multiple FIRs, and the seizure of cash, vehicles, POS machines, ATM cards, and thousands of illegal SIM cards and mobile devices.

Not yet reported: The exact total financial loss across all active syndicates in the Nuh region is not specified.
