New Delhi, Nov 26 (UNI) Delhi Police Crime Branch has cracked three major multi-state cyber-fraud networks responsible for high-value investment scams, fake trading platforms, and Jamtara-style KYC frauds, an official said on Wednesday.
According to the police, it was a coordinated operation that led to the arrest of three key accused, exposing digital deception spread across several states.
In the first case, an online investment scam worth Rs 33.10 lakh came to light after a victim filed an e-FIR in September.
Investigators found that the multiple bank accounts had been opened using the name of a fictitious firm, Belcrest India Pvt. Ltd., which was linked to 57 cyber-fraud complaints nationwide.
“Lakshay, a resident of Najafgarh, was identified as the operator of the entity and was arrested on November 19. Police said he had also floated another fake company, Nextoverse IT Solutions Pvt. Ltd., to channel fraudulent funds. Efforts are on to track his associates,” said Aditya Gautam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime).
In the second case, Ramveer of Faridabad was arrested in Haryana’s Karnal for syphoning Rs 53.05 lakh through a fake trading application that impersonated ‘Angel One’.
“A beneficiary account under the name RS Enterprises received Rs 14 lakh from the fraud. Police noted that Ramveer had previously been arrested in a similar cybercrime case in Haryana and is believed to be part of a wider fraud network,” the police mentioned.
The third module busted involved a classic Jamtara-style KYC fraud amounting to Rs 5.75 lakh.
According to the officer, the accused, who has been identified as Rajesh Mandal, 33, from Jharkhand’s Giridih district, posed as a bank official, obtained the victim’s credentials, accessed the device through AnyDesk, and ordered high-end gadgets worth several lakhs, which were later supplied to Kolkata’s Fancy Market.
The officer further stated that the extensive technical analysis and interstate coordination were crucial in dismantling the modules.
Further investigation into this case is ongoing by the team, the DCP added.
