Rajasthan Police Arrests 10th Accused in Cyber Fraud Case

The Rajasthan Police's State Cyber Crime Police Station in Jaipur has arrested another accused in connection with an international cybercrime and fraud network allegedly operated from Cambodia.

The accused, Ajruddin Kathat Khair Salsa, a resident of Ajmer, was arrested following technical analysis and information received from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C).

Ajruddin came into contact with a person identified as Ravi, alias Mahi, who allegedly lured him to Cambodia with the promise of a lucrative job. After reaching Cambodia, he was allegedly recruited into a cyber-fraud network operated by Chinese nationals.

The network allegedly targeted victims through fraudulent investment schemes involving Bitcoin and other forms of cyber fraud. Ajruddin received a monthly salary of around $800, apart from commissions linked to successful cyber-fraud operations.

During questioning, the accused told police that Indian youths were taken to Cambodia on the pretext of legitimate employment and were subsequently forced to participate in cybercrime. Those who refused to cooperate were allegedly held captive and subjected to financial penalties.

The investigation has also revealed the involvement of Chinese handlers known by the aliases “Atai Boss” and “Boss Damon.” Ajruddin admitted to helping lure several people from Vijayanagar, Ajmer, Beawar, and adjoining areas to Cambodia by promising them jobs.

Ajruddin returned to India in December 2025 and was already lodged in jail in connection with another fraud case. Additional Director General of Police V K Singh said the investigation was continuing to identify other Indian associates linked to the alleged international cyber-slavery network.

Police are examining digital and documentary evidence to trace the wider network and establish the roles of those involved. The Rajasthan Police said further arrests could follow as investigators work to uncover the full extent of the Cambodia-based cyber-fraud operation.

This case highlights the growing concern of international cybercrime and the need for law enforcement agencies to collaborate and share intelligence to combat such crimes. The arrest of the 10th accused in this case is a significant step towards dismantling the cyber-fraud network and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The Rajasthan Police's efforts to investigate and prosecute cybercrime cases demonstrate the importance of addressing this issue and protecting citizens from falling prey to such scams. As the investigation continues, it is likely that more details will emerge about the extent of the cyber-fraud network and the involvement of other individuals and organizations.
