The Delhi Police recently identified and arrested Jaideep Kumar (31), Ajay (27), and Rakesh Rajaram Jaiswal (33) in connection with a phishing scam. The trio was apprehended on Tuesday, though the mastermind behind the operation remains at large.
The scam was exposed following an incident involving Harikesh Kumar Yadav, a resident of Ekta Apartment in Siraspur, Delhi. On February 11, Yadav had filled out an online application for a new credit card but fell victim to a fraudulent scheme. The scammers, posing as bank officials, managed to deceive Yadav, resulting in a loss of Rs 21,400.
The police’s swift investigation led to the arrest of the three suspects, with authorities claiming to have dismantled a significant phishing operation. However, the search for the alleged ringleader continues.
