In a major step towards combating rising online financial fraud, Delhi Police have arrested three individuals allegedly involved in sophisticated cybercrime operations. The accused were picked up from multiple locations in Rajasthan and Haryana, described by officials as &ldquo;emerging cybercrime hotspots.&rdquo;
The arrests were carried out by the Cyber Police Station of Dwarka district, following several complaints from residents of Delhi-NCR who had fallen victim to online investment schemes and a rising scam known as &ldquo;digital arrest&rdquo; &mdash; where victims are manipulated into transferring money under the pretext of fake police threats.
According to police, two of the accused, Deepak and Surendra Kumar Dudi, hail from Tonk and Sikar in Rajasthan, while the third, Rajveer, is from Sirsa, Haryana. Their locations were identified after digital forensics linked their activities to multiple open fraud cases in Delhi.
Deepak was arrested on July 2 for his role in an investment scam. He is suspected of arranging fake bank accounts and SIM cards used to launder stolen funds. Surendra Kumar Dudi, also detained on July 2, allegedly played a key role in facilitating fund transfers related to digital arrest fraud.
Rajveer, who was taken into custody on June 30, is believed to have received part of the money siphoned off through one of the investment cons.
"Digital evidence guided our teams to targeted operations in Tonk, Sikar, Jaipur, and Sirsa," the police said in a statement. "We&rsquo;re seeing a pattern,&nbsp; cybercriminals are shifting base to remote regions to avoid detection."
All three men are now in police custody and have been charged under relevant sections of the IPC and IT Act. Investigations are ongoing to trace the broader network and uncover additional collaborators.
Delhi Police confirmed that more arrests are likely as the crackdown on organized digital fraud continues across northern India.
