The Delhi Police have successfully dismantled a cyber fraud racket based in Mewat, Haryana, that targeted businessmen by impersonating officials from the Indian Air Force. Four individuals were arrested, including residents from Bulandshahar, Aligarh, and Nuh. The fraud came to light when a complainant reported being cheated of over ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD) after being misled into supplying Aluminous Laterite, an industrial material. The accused sent forged purchase orders to establish credibility and instructed the victim to deposit money for vendor registration, claiming he was not an approved vendor. Investigations revealed that the fraudsters operated from fixed locations in Nuh and had procured SIM cards and bank accounts to conceal their identities. Approximately 30 SIM cards and six bank accounts were linked to similar fraudulent activities. The police are continuing their investigation and anticipate further arrests.
