Delhi Police have arrested Sonu Kumar and Aminder Singh, directors of a fraudulent trading company, for their involvement in a cyber fraud scheme that generated over ₹16 crore (approximately $1.93 million USD) in just eight days. The firm was used to facilitate job scams and OTP-based fraud by providing bank accounts to criminals. The police's investigation began after suspicious mule accounts were flagged on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. A bank account linked to the company, located at a nationalized bank in Bawana, was found to be associated with 336 cyber fraud complaints across several states. The account was accessed by multiple users, with most funds quickly withdrawn, indicating a significant money laundering operation. The investigation has uncovered connections to more than 35 suspected shell companies, and authorities are continuing their efforts to identify further members of this criminal network.
