After Digital Arrest, This New AI Scam Linked To Aadhaar Fraud In Ahmedabad
Cybercrime police in Ahmedabad arrested four men accused of running an identity theft racket using AI tools and tampering with Aadhaar-linked data. The gang used AI-generated 'blink' videos to bypass biometric verification and gain access to victims' banking and digital services.
Four men were arrested in Ahmedabad for running a sophisticated identity theft racket using AI tools and tampering with Aadhaar-linked data. The accused, identified as Kanu Parmar, Ashish Valand, Mohammad Kaif Patel, and Deepak Gupta, were arrested from different locations in Gujarat. They allegedly changed Aadhaar records to replace victims' registered mobile numbers, allowing them to receive OTPs and access sensitive accounts. The gang used AI tools like Google Gemini to generate 'blink' videos from still images to bypass biometric verification. The accused used Aadhaar update kits to carry out illegal modifications through Common Service Centres and managed to get a loan of Rs 25,000 from Jio Payments Bank on behalf of the victim. All four accused have been transferred to judicial custody, and officials are working to spot more victims and determine whether a larger network is involved.
