In a major step against rising cyber fraud, the Cyber Police Station of Dwarka District, Delhi, has arrested three cybercriminals linked to digital extortion and investment scams. The arrests took place during a coordinated crackdown across Tonk, Jaipur, Sikar (Rajasthan), and Delhi.
The suspects were identified as Deepak Verma (20) from Tonk, Surendra Kumar Dudi from Jaipur, and Rajveer from Delhi. The operation was conducted under the leadership of DCP Ankit Singh (IPS), with ACP Operations Ram Avtar and Inspector Rajeev Kumar (SHO) overseeing the raids.
The arrested individuals were involved in two major cybercrime operations:
Online Market Investment Fraud – Victims were lured into fake investment schemes.
Digital Arrest Scam – Victims were tricked into thinking they faced legal action and extorted for money.
Police said Deepak Verma, a 12th pass from Tonk, provided bank accounts and SIM cards for fraud operations. Surendra Dudi, an LLB graduate from Sikar, handled funds from the digital arrest scam. Rajveer, a welder from Sirsa, Haryana, opened a shell firm’s bank account, which was used to funnel illicit money.
The arrests are linked to three FIRs — FIR No. 102/24, 09/25, and 30/24 — registered under cybercrime sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Indian Penal Code (IPC).
While Rajveer was arrested on June 30, Deepak and Surendra were nabbed on July 2. Authorities have launched further investigations to trace additional members of the cyber syndicate operating across Delhi-NCR and Rajasthan.
The crackdown highlights Delhi Police’s intensified efforts to combat emerging cyber threats from semi-rural crime hubs.
