Rocky Book fraud
The Ambala Cyber Crime Police have arrested two more members of an interstate cyber fraud gang accused of cheating investors through the Rocky Book online gaming app. The gang allegedly lured people with promises of huge profits and defrauded victims of nearly ₹5 crore.
The accused have been identified as Ketan Soni, a resident of Moti Nagar in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, and Vivek Singh Jatt, a resident of Kotwali Najul, Madhya Pradesh. Both were produced before a court after police remand and have now been sent to judicial custody.
With these latest arrests, the total number of accused apprehended in the case has reached five.
Large Quantity of ATM Cards, Passbooks and Fake Seals Recovered
During the operation, police recovered a significant amount of evidence from the accused, including:
- 186 ATM cards
- 26 bank passbooks
- Multiple SIM cards
- Fake official seals
- A large amount of cash
Investigators believe these materials were used to operate fraudulent bank accounts and move money obtained through cyber scams.
Links to Overseas Cyber Criminals Under Investigation
According to the cyber police investigation team, questioning of accused Vivek Singh Jatt revealed that he was directly connected with cyber fraudsters operating from abroad.
Police said the accused managed part of the network from Madhya Pradesh and transferred money collected from victims in India to foreign operators through various channels. In return, he allegedly received a substantial commission.
Authorities are now working to identify and expose the overseas masterminds behind the cyber fraud network.
Victim Lost ₹5 Crore After Investment Promise
The case began after Hemant, a resident of Chhota Bazaar in Ambala City, filed a complaint with the Cyber Police Station on March 5.
According to the complaint, fraudsters convinced him to invest money through the Rocky Book online gaming application by promising exceptionally high returns. Believing the claims, Hemant invested not only his lifetime savings but also funds borrowed from friends and relatives.
The total financial loss in the case is estimated at around ₹5 crore.
Investigation Continues
Cyber police officials said the investigation is still underway, and more arrests are likely as efforts continue to trace the complete financial network and identify all individuals connected to the interstate and international cyber fraud operation.
Residents have also been advised to avoid investing in unverified online gaming, betting, or investment applications that promise unrealistic returns.
