In a significant operation against cyber fraud, the Cyber Police Station in Dwarka district has arrested six individuals involved in various online scams across Jaipur, Rajasthan, and New Delhi.
The arrests were made during a two-day crackdown ahead of Diwali, targeting fraudulent schemes related to cryptocurrency investment, child modeling scams, and fake electricity bill notifications, as reported by a police official.
A major fraud that surfaced involved a counterfeit website that promised victims high returns on cryptocurrency investments.
Other schemes included deceiving parents with false child modeling opportunities and scamming individuals into paying for non-existent overdue electricity bills.
Authorities recovered five mobile phones and five active SIM cards used in the crimes. The arrested individuals are linked to over 110 complaints filed through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP), with nearly Rs5 crore traced to their fraudulent accounts.
The suspects—Bipul Kumar, Sharwan Pareek, Avadhesh Udaiwal, Mukesh Kumar, Devender Singh, and Bhupender Mahamana—face charges under sections of the BNS related to cheating and criminal conspiracy.
