New Delhi: West District cyber police have arrested four people in an alleged fake loan and scholarship fraud case involving calls made mainly to people in southern India. A calling centre operating in Budhela, Vikaspuri, was raided during the investigation.
The four arrested have been identified as Amit Kapoor, Shiva Singh Chaudhary, S. Gaurav alias Appu, and Seraj Ansari alias Dawood. The alleged network approached people by offering loans and scholarships.
According to the investigation, bank accounts, SIM cards, UPI IDs and QR codes were used to receive the money. The funds were then withdrawn and passed on to other members of the network.
Five women telecallers at the Budhela calling centre were bound down in connection with the case. This action was separate from the arrest of the four accused.
Police recovered 12 smartphones, nine keypad mobile phones, 10 notepads and five registers. A debit card, two cheque books and ₹45,170 in cash were also recovered.
The case was registered under FIR No. 56/2026. Police are investigating other potential victims and the wider fraud network. The operation was supervised by ACP Operations Rajesh Kumar under DCP Hareshwar V. Swami.
