Delhi Police Bust Rs 16 Crore Cyber Fraud Network; Odisha CID Arrests Delhi Man in Rs 2 Crore Scam

Delhi Police arrested two dummy directors linked to a Rs 16 crore cyber fraud network involving over 35 shell companies and multiple mule accounts, uncovered through analysis of suspicious transactions at a Bawana branch. The network lured vulnerable individuals with job offers to act as front directors while handlers controlled accounts remotely. Separately, Odisha CID arrested a Delhi resident in a Rs 2 crore cyber fraud case involving fraudulent investment schemes targeting a Bhubaneswar victim. Investigations continue in both cases.
