In a recent crackdown on financial crimes, Delhi Police have arrested three individuals for allegedly defrauding a 55-year-old man in northeast Delhi of over Rs 12.5 lakh through a fake online investment scheme.
The complaint was lodged by Gaurav Sharma on October 16, 2025, claiming he was misled into investing by promises of lucrative returns, only to lose his funds to unknown perpetrators.
One suspect, Bhupesh, a resident of Rewari, Haryana, confessed after being taken into custody. Following his confession, police apprehended his accomplices, Ashish Chauhan and Ajay Sharma.
Financial investigations conducted by the authorities have led to the recovery of Rs 4.5 lakh, and efforts are ongoing to trace additional gang members and recover the remaining misappropriated funds.
Police continue to investigate the network of fraudsters involved in this case to prevent further incidents and identify other potential victims.
