Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Police bust two networks running NEET scams

Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Police bust two networks running NEET scams In a major crackdown, law enforcement agencies have busted two separate fraud networks targeting medical aspirants. The Cyber Crime Branch of the Ahmedabad City Police uncovered a Telegram scam falsely promising leaked NEET-UG 2026 re-exam papers, and in a separate case, a 19-year-old from Bihar allegedly hacked hundreds of student accounts to steal their NEET-UG refunds. In the first case, the police have arrested two key suspects in Rajasthan — Sumer Singh from Jaipur and Akash Meena from Kota — for running a cyber fraud network that swindled unassuming persons. According to the police, the accused created a network of Telegram channels, including one named “Raghav_Singh_NEET” and seven others, which they later handed over to an anonymous Telegram user operating under the alias “Private Mafia”. Using these channels, the duo circulated highly deceptive posts and advertisements claiming they possessed the confidential NEET re-exam question papers. To appear legitimate, the scammers used third-party apps to artificially inflate their subscriber count, boosting premium memberships to lure unsuspecting parents and students into a false sense of security. Investigation revealed that no material related to the NEET or any other exam was ever recovered from the accused. It was an entirely fabricated scheme to induce online payments via QR (quick response) codes and direct bank transfers.
