Delhi Police Arrest Nine in Interstate Cyber-Fraud Network Linked to Stolen Phone
Delhi Police arrested nine individuals linked to an interstate cyber-fraud syndicate operating across Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The case began after an 88-year-old man reported his stolen phone and unauthorized withdrawals totaling Rs 70,000 from his bank account. The syndicate allegedly involved three modules: street-level phone theft, mule account supply in Meerut and Ghaziabad, and a call-centre operation in Jaipur that accessed victims' accounts to siphon funds. Authorities recovered phones, SIM cards, debit cards, POS machines, and cash during raids. Investigations continue into related cybercrime activities.
