Delhi: In a major crackdown on cyber fraud, the Cyber Crime Unit of Delhi Police’s West District apprehended two suspects from Gujarat linked to a ‘digital arrest’ scam. The suspects allegedly defrauded a government employee of Rs 7 lakh, exposing a sophisticated network spanning multiple states.
The accused, Soyebbhai Multani, a former tractor salesman, and Aslambhai Multani, a dairy farmer, were traced to Surendranagar, Gujarat, through an interstate police operation covering Jharkhand and Gujarat. The investigation uncovered a complex fraud network involving dummy accounts and multiple accomplices.
The victim, Debjani Das Choudhary, a nursing officer, was deceived into believing she was being investigated for her alleged involvement in the Naresh Goyal Money Laundering Case. Using fake surveillance and threats, the suspects coerced her into transferring Rs 7 lakh to accounts under their control.
Authorities emphasized the need for vigilance and warned citizens to verify any such claims and report suspicious digital communications to the cybercrime authorities. Investigations are ongoing to track other members of the scam network.
