Police in Delhi say a criminal gang moved Rs 3.93 crore from a victim’s bank account in 149 transactions and have detained seven suspects.
Delhi police have disclosed that a criminal network transferred Rs 3.93 crore out of a man's bank account through 149 separate transactions. The money was siphoned over a short period, prompting a swift financial‑crime investigation.
Investigators traced the electronic trail to a group operating out of Delhi, leading to the arrest of seven individuals on charges of fraud and money‑laundering. All suspects were taken into custody after coordinated raids at multiple locations linked to the scheme.
A senior officer of the Delhi Police Cyber Cell said the gang used sophisticated methods to mask the transfers, but forensic analysis of the transaction logs enabled authorities to identify the perpetrators. The police have recovered a portion of the stolen funds and are continuing to pursue the remaining amount.
The department urged the public to remain vigilant, verify the authenticity of any unsolicited financial requests, and report suspicious activity to the nearest police station or the cyber‑crime helpline.
