Police Arrest Multiple Suspects in Mobile Phone Theft and Cyber Fraud Cases in India

In Delhi, ten suspects were arrested for running a tech-enabled interstate and international syndicate trafficking around 10,000–12,000 stolen smartphones, recovering 325 phones worth about Rs 1 crore. In Lucknow, five individuals were detained for stealing phones and using victims' SIM cards to access bank accounts and digital wallets, linked to cyber fraud cases involving over Rs 8 lakh. Both cases highlight coordinated criminal networks exploiting technology and crowded public events.
