Telegram Scam
Major cybercrime breakthrough as Nagaur Police arrest 21-year-old Ramkailash for masterminding ‘RCM Plus’ fraud via Telegram, cheating thousands nationwide with task scams.
Nagaur Cyber Fraud Bust
Nagaur, Rajasthan: In a major action against cybercrime, police in Nagaur have arrested a 21-year-old youth accused of running a large online fraud through the messaging platform Telegram. The accused, Ramkailash, son of Shivkaran and a resident of Sinod village under Khinvsar police station, allegedly cheated nearly 7,000 people across the country through a fake online earning scheme called RCM Plus.
Police said the accused was arrested on April 11, 2026 after a raid in farmland near Sinod village. During the operation, officers recovered five mobile phones used to run the scam along with a motorcycle. Two of his suspected partners, Prahladram and Kisanram, are still absconding and police teams are searching for them.
The operation was carried out under the direction of Superintendent of Police Roshan Meena. Additional SP Asharam Choudhary, Circle Officer Jatin Jain and Khinvsar SHO Aditi Upadhyay also played key roles in the investigation.
How the Fraud Was Being Run
According to the police investigation, Ramkailash created a Telegram group and channel named RCM Plus. Through this group, he added thousands of people using invitation links and fake accounts.
The group promised easy money through simple online tasks. Members were told they could earn money by doing small jobs such as liking videos, rating hotels on Google, or completing online surveys.
At first, victims were asked to do small tasks. Some even received small payments to gain their trust. After that, the group administrators encouraged them to deposit larger amounts of money with the promise that their investment would double.
Many victims invested ₹1,000, ₹5,000 or even more hoping for quick profits. But after collecting the money, the group would suddenly stop responding and new groups would be created to target fresh victims.
Police say the accused also used fake websites and edited bank messages to show false payment alerts. These tricks made people believe that money had been credited to their accounts.
Police Raid and Arrest
Police became suspicious after tracking unusual mobile activity in the Sinod area. A team from Khinvsar police station conducted a raid in farmland where the accused was hiding and operating the fraud network from a small room.
When police arrived, Ramkailash reportedly tried to escape but was caught by the team.
During the search, officers recovered five smartphones containing Telegram groups, chats with victims and transaction details. These devices are now being examined by cyber experts as part of the investigation.
Officials believe the network may have collected lakhs of rupees from victims across India.
Police Statements
Superintendent of Police Roshan Meena said the action was part of an ongoing campaign against cybercrime.
“We are taking strict action against cyber fraud in Nagaur district. People should stay alert and avoid such online schemes promising easy money,” he said.
SHO Aditi Upadhyay said the accused had been active for several months and the seized phones contained important evidence related to the fraud.
Another police official said the investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected soon.
Rising Cyber Fraud Cases
Cybercrime has been increasing rapidly in many parts of Rajasthan in recent years. Police say online task scams like this one have become very common.
In these frauds, criminals use messaging apps like Telegram to attract people with promises of quick income. Victims are first given small payments to build trust, and later they are convinced to invest larger sums.
Once the money is transferred, the fraudsters disappear and start a new group with a different name.
Officials say many victims in such scams come from small towns and rural areas where people are not fully aware of online fraud methods.
Why This Case Is Important
The Nagaur case shows how easily cyber criminals can target thousands of people through social media and messaging apps.
Investigators believe around 7,000 people may have been added to the RCM Plus Telegram group. Even if each victim paid a small amount, the total fraud could run into lakhs of rupees.
Cyber experts say such scams are growing because many people are looking for quick online income opportunities.
Police have urged the public to be careful and avoid joining unknown groups that promise easy money for simple tasks.
What Happens Next
Police are now trying to find the two remaining suspects linked to the scam. They are also tracing bank transactions and digital records to understand the full amount of money involved.
Victims of cyber fraud are advised to report the matter immediately on the national cybercrime portal or through the helpline number 1930.
Authorities say awareness is the best protection against online fraud.
For now, the arrest of Ramkailash is being seen as a major step in breaking the cyber fraud network operating from rural areas of Nagaur. However, police say the fight against digital scams will continue as criminals keep finding new ways to cheat people online.
