Three Arrested in Nuh for Alleged Cyber Frauds Involving Rapido and Old Currency ScamsPreviousNext

Nuh police arrested three individuals—Mustakim, Sabir, and Asap Ali—allegedly involved in cyber frauds including fake Rapido bookings and scams related to old currency notes and coins. The arrests followed a complaint by Sudhir Kanojia from Lucknow and technical tracing via the 'Samanvay' portal. Authorities recovered multiple mobile phones, SIM cards, and accounts linked to WhatsApp, Rapido, and PhonePe. The accused reportedly lured victims with promises of buying old currency at high prices and collected registration fees through QR codes. Investigations are ongoing.
