Delhi Police have dismantled an interstate cyber fraud syndicate responsible for defrauding a 50-year-old resident of Prem Nagar, Karol Bagh, of ₹4.82 lakh through unauthorized banking transactions. The investigation began when the victim reported receiving SMS alerts about significant debits from his account. His son promptly blocked the account, but not before the fraudsters managed to siphon off ₹4,82,476 through rapid electronic transactions. The police traced the money to a beneficiary account linked to Sonu in Uttam Nagar, leading to the arrest of Sonu and Yash Kumar on May 27. Further interrogation revealed Baljinder Singh, the alleged interstate handler of the syndicate, who was arrested on June 3 in Yamunanagar. The operation uncovered a network of 'mule accounts' used to route stolen funds, with the fraudsters persuading individuals to open accounts and share credentials for monetary incentives. The police also seized debit cards and SIM cards used in the fraudulent activities, successfully freezing a substantial portion of the stolen funds before further transactions could occur.
