More than 100 cases of digital arrest fraud have been reported in Bihar this year. Nearly half of them occurred in the state capital. The Economic Offences Unit (EOU), which handles cybercrime cases, has started collecting full details from all police and cyber stations.

In digital arrest fraud cases, criminals pose as officers from agencies like the CBI or ED. They threaten victims with arrest through video or audio calls. Fear and pressure force victims to transfer large sums of money.

The Supreme Court has asked the CBI to dismantle the entire network. Judges warned that the scam may be part of a nationwide organised racket.

Investigators have also raised concerns about banks. In several cases, huge amounts moved through accounts without alerts or blocks. Last year, a retired Patna University professor lost over ₹3 crore to such threats.

The RBI is now considering AI and machine learning tools to detect suspicious accounts and freeze illegal funds faster.

The SIM Box Fraud case has triggered a large investigation by the CBI. The agency is searching for 264 SIM holders whose numbers were used in a major cyber scam. The SIM Box Fraud network operated in Bihar, West Bengal, and even connected to Telangana.

The SIM Box Fraud came to light after raids in Bhojpur, Bihar. Officials found a setup that turned international VoIP calls into local calls. The system used fake SIM cards issued with false names and addresses. A second SIM box was later found in Samastipur, where many fake SIM cards from North Bihar were recovered.

Investigators traced the activation of 264 SIMs to two men from West Bengal and Rajnagar. Telangana’s Counter Intelligence Cell had earlier warned that such illegal systems might help terror groups by routing secret calls.

In just two days, between July 5 and 7, the gang made over 20,000 calls using 67 SIM cards. All SIMs were activated from West Bengal using fake identities. BSNL’s technical team later tracked the SIM operations and shared details with investigators.
