ED Raids in Hyderabad and Bengaluru Lead to Arrest in Foreign Citizen Fraud Case
The Enforcement Directorate conducted coordinated searches across multiple cities and detained a key suspect accused of threatening foreign nationals and carrying out large scale financial fraud operations.
The Enforcement Directorate has detained a key suspect following coordinated raids in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad as part of an investigation into an alleged fraud network that targeted foreign nationals.
The accused, identified as Vikas Nimar, is alleged to have threatened overseas citizens by falsely claiming they were involved in unpaid tax dues, outstanding loans and illegal activities. Investigators believe these threats were used to intimidate victims before cheating them through an organized fraud operation.
The latest action follows a case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation several months ago. Based on the findings of that investigation, the Enforcement Directorate launched simultaneous searches at multiple locations to gather evidence and track those involved.
Officials said the operation resulted in the detention of Vikas Nimar, who is believed to have played a major role in the alleged scam. The investigation is continuing, and authorities are examining the wider network to identify other individuals connected to the fraud.
