New Delhi: In a major breakthrough against cybercrime, the WR-2 unit of Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted a large cyber fraud network, arresting an accused who was working as a bank employee and facilitating fraudulent transactions.
According to officials, the accused misused his position to open multiple bank accounts without proper KYC verification. These accounts were then used to route cheated money worth several crores, enabling cyber fraudsters to operate seamlessly.
Investigations revealed that the accused was linked to Telegram-based job scam networks, where victims were lured with fake employment offers and subsequently defrauded. The fraudulent funds were layered through these bank accounts to avoid detection.
Police said the role of the accused was crucial in sustaining the cyber fraud ecosystem, as he provided the banking infrastructure required for transferring illegal funds.
The operation was carried out by a team led by Inspector Satish Malik under the leadership of ACP Rajpal Dabas and under the overall supervision of Harsh Indora.
Further investigation is underway to trace other members of the network and uncover the full extent of the scam.
