Delhi Police busted a major cybercrime operation after arresting 33-year-old Muneer Khan alias Sahil Sharma from Gurgaon’s Spaze iTech Park. Khan allegedly ran a fake manpower recruitment agency named Meraaki Manpower Services Private Limited, which was a front for laundering cybercrime proceeds.
The scam surfaced when a victim reported his stolen iPhone linked to his bank account. After the thief obtained a duplicate SIM, nine unauthorized UPI transactions totaling Rs 3.98 lakh were made. Investigations revealed Rs 1 lakh of that amount was funneled through multiple accounts, including one under Meraaki Manpower Services.
Though the company’s registered address was vacant, police tracked Khan to the actual base in Gurgaon. During the raid, officers seized 200 cheques and four debit cards linked to suspected fraudulent accounts.
Khan, along with associates Shubham, Mukim, and Munjir, opened several bank accounts to conceal illicit funds. The National Cybercrime Reporting Portal linked these accounts to 85 cybercrime complaints across India.
Notably, Khan was previously arrested in a rape case and spent over four years in judicial custody.
