KBC lottery scam busted in Assam, cops trace Rs 13.5 lakh fraud to Pak; 2 arrested KBC lottery scam busted in Assam, cops trace Rs 13.5 lakh fraud to Pak; 2 arrested Surat Cyber Crime Police arrested two Assam-based accused and uncovered a Pakistan-linked fake KBC lottery scam that duped a Surat resident of Rs 13.51 lakh through fraudulent prize claims and forged documents The Surat Cyber Crime Cell has uncovered a major international cyber fraud network with links to Pakistan and Assam, arresting two accused allegedly involved in a fake Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) lottery scam that duped a Surat resident of Rs 13.51 lakh. The operation revealed that the fraud was allegedly being coordinated from Pakistan while local operatives in India facilitated the movement of money through bank accounts in Assam. According to investigators, the victim received calls claiming that he had won a KBC lottery worth Rs 25 lakh. The fraudsters convinced him that he needed to pay various charges and fees to claim the prize money. Believing the claims to be genuine, the victim transferred a total of Rs 13,51,450 through multiple transactions. After realising he had been cheated, he lodged a complaint through the National Cyber Crime Helpline number 1930, prompting the registration of a case at the Surat City Cyber Crime Police Station. Acting on technical leads, a Surat Cyber Crime team travelled nearly 2,500 kilometres to Assam’s Nagaon district, around 140 kilometres from Guwahati. With assistance from local police and human intelligence inputs, the team conducted surveillance for seven to eight days before arresting two key suspects.

Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said there was no constitutional infirmity in levying GST on online games and declared it valid. In June last year, court had stayed GST proceedings against 49 gaming firms over retrospective demand notices to them. It extended the protection granted to them for another three months. In Oct 2023, GST Council had imposed 28 per cent tax on full face value of online gaming bets. Gaming industry, however, has been asking for the tax to be calculated on gross gaming revenue rather than face value of bets.
