The authorities have come across a case wherein people travelling to Dubai on tourist visas have been involved in cyber fraud activities in India. The North Cyber Cell recently apprehended four suspects from Gujarat, who during interrogation, revealed that such individuals were operating a cyber fraud gang in India while being located in Dubai.

The investigation pertained to a ‘task fraud’ case in which the fraudsters allegedly duped a woman of Rs 32.88 lakh. The woman had been promised a part-time job that would allow her to earn a daily income by liking, sharing, and rating various hotels and videos. She fell into their trap and lost her money, after which she reported the case to the North Cyber Cell in June.
