Bhagalpur police scored twin victories in their war on crime, nabbing two members of a cyber fraud ring and the prime suspect in a high-profile robbery case. These back-to-back arrests highlight the department’s aggressive stance against digital deceit and armed banditry.
The cyber fraud gang had been masquerading as officials from the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi program, luring farmers with offers to unlock stalled subsidies linked to incomplete KYC processes. A detailed probe triggered by a February 27, 2026, complaint culminated in case 20/2026, followed by meticulous surveillance and a decisive raid on March 2.
Rajkumar Das and Deepak Sharma fell into the trap, with authorities seizing vital evidence: laptops, phones, ATM cards, and bank documents. The duo confessed to creating bogus accounts to pilfer funds, joining two already imprisoned accomplices in the network.
Simultaneously, the Ghogha police station closed the book on the October 5, 2025, market dacoity by arresting Pawan Kumar Sharma in Jharkhand’s Deoghar district. This capture completes the roundup of the entire gang, with Sharma’s history riddled with robbery and violence charges.
Senior police officials emphasized their relentless drive, involving coordinated efforts from specialized units. As cyber threats evolve and robbery gangs persist, these triumphs signal stronger vigilance, urging the public to stay alert against scams and report suspicious activities promptly. Bhagalpur’s residents can now breathe easier knowing justice is swift and unyielding.
