Three Arrested in Delhi for Cyber Fraud Linked to Investment Scam and Foreign NetworkPreviousNext

Police arrested three men—Janak, Dinesh Kumar, and Pawan Kumar—in Delhi for their alleged involvement in a cyber fraud network that defrauded a Gurugram resident of 2.53 crore through a stock market investment scam. Investigations revealed the operation was coordinated from a rented apartment in Delhi, with possible links to a foreign-based cybercrime gang, including contacts via social media. Authorities are probing international connections and the role of a private shell company used to transfer funds totaling nearly 3.75 crore.
