Delhi police's Crime Branch has successfully dismantled an organized international cyber fraud racket, apprehending three suspects. This operation followed an extensive investigation into substantial online scams in stock market investments that originated from a complaint filed by a 56-year-old resident of Uttam Nagar. The victim reported that cyber con artists lured him into investing by promising lucrative returns in the stock market, resulting in the withdrawal of approximately 42.5 lakh rupees through various bank accounts.

The complaint led to the filing of an electronic FIR on December 17, 2025, prompting the authorities to initiate an inquiry. The investigation revealed that the suspects used a complex scheme to obscure the fraud's financial trail, transferring the illicit funds through 36 different bank accounts. One of the main beneficiaries identified was Sabbir Ahmed from the Munirka area of southwest Delhi, who was arrested on January 21. During interrogation, he disclosed critical information regarding the operation, indicating that he had opened 9 to 10 accounts across different banks to facilitate the fraud and had provided complete banking kits to accomplices Mohammad Sarfaraz and Mohammad Dilshad.

This case highlights the increasing sophistication of cybercrime and the need for vigilant law enforcement to address these modern crimes. As the investigation unfolds, it may uncover more individuals involved, shed light on how these schemes operate, and possibly lead to preventative measures to safeguard potential victims in the future.
