Gurugram police arrested six individuals from Delhi for allegedly running a cyber fraud racket involving fake credit card reward-point adjustments. Victims were targeted with calls impersonating Axis Bank officials, promising discounts by adjusting reward points, leading to financial losses such as Rs 83,305 in one case.
