 Guwahati Police arrested a well-known cybercriminal, Firdoz Alam, from the Hatigaon area on Monday. 

During the operation, the police seized 464 ATM cards from his possession, making it one of the largest recoveries of its kind in recent times.


Firdoz Alam was reportedly running a fraud racket from a rented house in the Sijubari area. According to officials, he used documents of different people to open fake bank accounts. These accounts were then used to create ATM cards, which he supplied to other cybercriminals for illegal financial activities.


Police also found a card-printing machine and several bank passbooks, mostly from Bandhan Bank, during the raid. Alam’s network is believed to have links in other districts like Nagaon and Morigaon, indicating that the fraud was spread over a wide area.


A case has been filed at Dispur Police Station, and an investigation is currently underway. Authorities are now trying to trace others involved in the network and identify how many people were affected by the scam.
