Delhi Police Arrest Seven in ₹3.93-Crore Cyber Fraud Case

Delhi Police have arrested seven individuals in connection with an alleged cyber fraud case involving ₹3.93 crore and 149 unauthorised bank transactions. According to reports, the case began after a 28-year-old complainant reported that funds had been debited from an account without consent. The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations unit of the Delhi Police Special Cell handled the inquiry, conducting a seven-day field investigation in Rajasthan, including Bikaner and Jodhpur.

The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

Investigators allege that the illicit funds were routed through multiple bank accounts, referred to as mule accounts, before portions were withdrawn in cash and handed over to other individuals. Police suspect connections to a foreign money-exchange application and a hawala channel, along with potential conversions into USDT, a stablecoin cryptocurrency. During the operation, authorities reportedly seized 45 cheque books, 25 bank passbooks, 45 ATM cards, and 13 mobile phones.

As part of the ongoing investigation, authorities have placed a hold on ₹1.78 crore through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Police are continuing to examine the complete money trail and determine the specific roles of all seven arrested suspects, while emphasizing that the legal process and inquiries remain active.
