According to the police, 110 complaints on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) were found to be linked to those arrested and transactions of nearly Rs 5 crore were found in their bank accounts.

The arrested were identified as Bipul Kumar (44), Sharwan Pareek (55), Avadhesh Udaiwal (41) and Mukesh Kumar (30) from Jaipur in Rajasthan, and Devender Singh and Bhipender Mahamana from Delhi.

The police said that they recovered five mobile phones and five SIM cards from their possession.
