Uttar Pradesh ATS arrests Kanpur man for selling 5 lakh fake email IDs

Uttar Pradesh ATS arrested <b>Ankit Shankhwar</b> in <b>Kanpur</b> for selling fake email IDs to buyers in Pakistan and Bangladesh. His laptop held data of <b>5 lakh</b> bogus accounts used in bomb‑threat emails. The case exposes lax cyber‑monitoring, where a single individual could compile half‑million fake IDs. Agencies tout security, yet the ease of creating and exporting such accounts reveals oversight gaps and slow coordination. Officials claim the bust will curb cross‑border cyber‑crime, but victims on both sides remain vulnerable.
