The accused targeted bank customers at ATM booths. They trapped ATM cards using glue and secretly collected PIN details. Later, they withdrew money or transferred funds to other accounts. The gang also used gaming apps to move money quickly and avoid detection.

Police said the group operated in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Vaishali, Bettiah, and other areas. Some members helped open bank accounts using fake documents. Others handled cash withdrawal and online transfers.

During raids, police recovered 55 ATM cards, 23 mobile phones, 11 passbooks, checkbooks, SIM cards, cash, and two cars. Investigators found transaction records worth around Rs 55 crore in multiple accounts.

Officials also detected links to foreign transactions and cryptocurrency transfers. Central agencies have been informed for deeper investigation.

Police identified Saurabh Dwivedi from Bettiah as the mastermind. More arrests are expected as the probe continues. Authorities warned people to stay alert while using ATMs and online apps.

The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) found that gangs clone Aadhaar details with the help of fake camps, CSCs, and telecom providers. The stolen data is sold online to cyber fraudsters, who use it for issuing SIM cards in bulk. These SIMs are later used in scams and to open fake bank accounts. Victims often face legal trouble because fraud happens in their name.

Officials warn that Aadhaar misuse has increased with both photocopy and biometric fraud. People are advised to use masked Aadhaar, lock biometrics on UIDAI, and track usage history. Updating mobile and email in Aadhaar helps receive alerts. Always visit authorized Aadhaar centers for corrections and check SIM status on the Sarathi portal.

Staying alert and using UIDAI safety tools can prevent Aadhaar-based cyber fraud in Bihar.
