Delhi Police Busts Two Cyber Fraud Rackets Involving Impersonation and Fake Job Scams

Delhi Police recently dismantled two separate cyber fraud operations. One involved a Mewat-based racket where four individuals impersonated Indian Air Force officials using forged documents to cheat businessmen, including a case involving over ₹5 lakh. Another bust targeted an inter-state syndicate of 14 accused linked to fake job offers and transactions exceeding ₹8 crore, with members across multiple states and some handlers reportedly abroad. Investigations revealed use of mule accounts and coordinated online schemes.
