Organised Crime Takedown: 34-Member Gang Network Mapped from 8 CDR Datasets

State CID / Organized Crime Unit
8 CDR datasets / 3 telecom operators
18 months of call records

A state CID unit was investigating an organised extortion gang that operated through a network of burner phones, frequently swapping SIM cards and handsets. Conventional surveillance was repeatedly broken when gang members changed numbers. The unit had CDR datasets from 3 telecom operators but lacked tools to process and cross-correlate 18 months of records across different carrier formats.

Multi-carrier CDR ingestion — normalized from 3 different operator formats
IMEI/IMSI swap detection — tracking phone changes across SIM swaps
Tower co-location analysis — identifying suspects present at same location
Communication pattern graph — hierarchy and role identification
Night-call and burst-call pattern analysis flagging unusual activity windows
Geographic movement timeline reconstructed from tower pings

Gang members identified and mapped
28
Arrests in coordinated state-wide action

Total CDR analysis time for all 8 datasets

IMEI tracking across SIM swaps allowed CID to maintain continuous surveillance of gang members even as they changed phones. Tower co-location analysis revealed all 34 members had physically met at two locations — used as evidence of conspiracy. 28 arrests were made in a coordinated dawn action. Court-admissible CDR report accepted as primary evidence.

The gang thought changing SIMs every week would protect them. CDR/IPDR analysis tracked them through every change — their IMEI gave them away every time. We had the full network in 4 hours.

Kidnapping Investigation: Victim Location Reconstructed from Tower Data in 6 Hours

State Police Missing Persons Unit
Time-critical investigation
Victim recovered safely

A kidnapping case required police to reconstruct the movement of the victim's phone and the abductors' devices over a 48-hour window. Multiple phones, multiple operators, and complex multi-leg movement through 3 states needed to be analysed simultaneously under extreme time pressure — a victim's safety depended on rapid location intelligence.

Abductors arrested at identified location

Within 6 hours of receiving CDR data, the VedOps platform had reconstructed the full movement route and identified the abductors' last tower ping — a rural area of an adjacent state. Police units were dispatched to the zone and the victim was recovered safely. All 4 abductors were arrested at the identified location.

Financial Fraud: IPDR Trail Links VPN Users to ₹180 Crore Online Trading Scam

Economic Offences Wing
Online investment fraud
14 suspects in 4 countries

An Economic Offences Wing was investigating an online trading scam that had defrauded 6,800 investors of ₹180 crore through fake investment platforms. The suspects were using VPN services and rotating IP addresses to mask their location and identity. Conventional IP-based identification had failed — VPN exit nodes were in Singapore, the Netherlands, and the US.

We thought VPN would make them untraceable. IPDR analysis found the moments before their VPN connected — that's where we got them. The VedOps report was accepted as evidence by the special court without challenge.
