In a coordinated raid, Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch Unit‑2 confiscated a massive trove of financial instruments and counterfeit paperwork tied to a cyber‑fraud ring. The haul included 66 ATM cards, 12 SIM cards from various operators, 19 bank passbooks, 122 checkbooks, two laptops, a colour printer, two pen drives, and 68 forged rubber stamps. Investigators traced the operation to a sham company registered from an office in Andheri West, which had been opening bogus current accounts at multiple banks. The stolen cards and SIMs were dispatched nationwide, especially to Dehradun, where they facilitated illegal online gaming and fraud.
