Interstate Ring Masterminds Busted for Dirham Exchange Gang in Hyderabad
Hyderabad, December 20 (Maxim News): In a swift crackdown, the Commissioners Task Force, North Zone, apprehended seven members of a cunning interstate gang involved in a sophisticated foreign currency exchange fraud.
The accused, hailing from Delhi, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh, targeted unsuspecting small-business owners with a tempting proposition: Dirhams at unbeatable rates.
The modus operandi was slick. After luring victims with the “low exchange rate” baitthey asked them to bring the Indian rupees to a crowded public place, the gang instructed them to meet in busy public areas. There, amidst the bustle, they exchanged the Indian rupees for a seemingly hefty bundle of Dirhams.
What the victims didn’t realize until later was that most of the “currency” was cleverly replaced with folded newspapers, cleverly concealed within a few real Dirham notes. By warning the victims against opening the bundle in public, the gang ensured their escape.
But their luck ran out today. The eagle-eyed North Zone team, led by Inspector L. Bhaskar Reddy and Sub-Inspectors B. Ashok Reddy, P. Gnanadeep, and G. Naveen, netted the entire seven-member gang. This successful operation not only brought justice but also served as a wake-up call for the public. (Maxim News)
