Cyber Fraud Syndicate Busted in Delhi: 5 Accused Arrested, ₹2.31 Crore Mule Account Network Exposed

New Delhi: In a major crackdown on cybercrime, the Outer North District Cyber Police has busted an organized interstate cyber fraud syndicate involved in operating mule bank accounts and routing cheated money across India and abroad.

The case was registered under FIR No. 14/26 dated April 4, 2026, at PS Cyber Crime, Outer North District, based on multiple complaints received through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP), along with technical inputs developed during Operation “Cyber Hawk 4.0.”

Acting on data of mule accounts from the Samanvay Portal linked to several cyber fraud complaints, a dedicated police team launched a coordinated operation and arrested five accused from Narela, Delhi. The arrested individuals have been identified as Rahul (22), Bunty (22), Ankit (19), Salim alias Dhancha (22), and Noore Alam (19).

The operation was carried out under the leadership of Joint Commissioner Vijay Singh, with supervision from DCP Hareshwar Swami and guidance from ACP Dinesh Kumar. The team, led by Inspector Govind Singh along with other officers, conducted raids and secured both digital and physical evidence.

During the investigation, police recovered SIM cards, bank-linked mobile numbers, and crucial digital evidence including chat records, transaction logs, and account details used in cyber fraud operations.

The probe has revealed that 28 bank accounts linked to the accused were used in cyber fraud cases connected to at least 43 complaints across multiple states including Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and West Bengal, involving an estimated fraud amount of ₹2.31 crore.

The accused were found to be supplying bank accounts and SIM cards within the syndicate for commissions ranging from ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 per account. Fraud proceeds were systematically converted into cryptocurrency (USDT) using platforms like Binance and routed to foreign handlers via Telegram, indicating international links.

Technical analysis traced one such handler’s IP address to Cambodia, pointing to the involvement of overseas cyber criminals.

Modus Operandi:
The syndicate operated by opening multiple bank accounts using genuine or proxy identities, linking them with SIM cards, and supplying them to fraudsters. Victims’ money was routed through these accounts, quickly converted into cryptocurrency, and transferred abroad to conceal the money trail.

Police officials said further investigation is underway to identify additional members of the network, including foreign-based handlers, and to trace the complete financial trail.

Public Advisory:
Delhi Police has urged citizens to remain vigilant against cyber fraud. Authorities emphasized that no government agency will conduct “digital arrests,” and warned against sharing OTPs or transferring money under pressure. Citizens are advised to report suspicious activity on helpline 1930 or via the official cybercrime portal.

Delhi Police Crime Branch Cracks 35-Year-Old Murder Case, Accused Arrested from Ludhiana

New Delhi: In a major breakthrough, the Crime Branch of Delhi Police has solved a 35-year-old murder case, arresting the accused who had been absconding since 1991.

The case dates back to August 2, 1991, when a PCR call was received at Trilokpuri Police Station reporting that a woman and her son had been brutally stabbed. The woman later succumbed to her injuries during treatment, while her son survived and identified the attacker as their tenant, Chhavilal Verma, who had been on the run ever since.

According to DCP Aaditya Gautam, the Inter-State Cell of the Crime Branch worked relentlessly on the case over the past six months. The team, led by ACP Ramesh Lamba and Inspector Manmeet Malik, along with key efforts from Head Constable Sunil and Sub-Inspector Sunil, developed ground intelligence and tracked the accused’s movements.

The police team even visited the accused native village to gather leads and finally traced him to Ludhiana, where he was arrested.

Investigations revealed that the accused had been evading arrest for over three decades, living in multiple cities including Kolkata, Mumbai, and Nagpur. During this period, he took up various jobs such as working in transport, painting, tailoring, and daily wage labour to avoid detection.

Police officials stated that the accused was extremely vigilant and cunning, maintaining minimal contact with his family. He reportedly communicated indirectly through intermediaries and avoided direct contact even with his wife. Notably, he did not attend the weddings of his own children to evade police surveillance.

“Despite his efforts to remain hidden for decades, the law has finally caught up with him. This is a significant achievement for our Inter-State Cell,” DCP Aaditya Gautam said.

Further investigation is underway to complete legal formalities and present the accused before the court.
