Delhi Police Arrest Two in Interstate e-SIM Fraud Case Involving Rs 40 Lakh
Delhi Police arrested two men from West Bengal linked to an interstate e-SIM fraud module after a Delhi resident reported unauthorized transfers of around Rs 40 lakh. The accused, Ankit Das and Subal Das, allegedly impersonated telecom employees to activate victims' mobile numbers on devices they controlled, accessing OTPs and banking information to transfer funds to mule accounts. Police recovered 44 phones with multiple SIMs and telecom-branded clothing. The accused are connected to 124 complaints, and investigations continue to trace the money trail.
