Delhi authorities have arrested three men — Suresh, Sahil, and Harsh Dahiya — for allegedly conning jewellery shops by presenting fake payment confirmation screenshots. The arrests followed a thorough investigation using CCTV footage and technical surveillance.
The case came to light when the accused visited LK Jewellers in Rohini, posing as genuine customers. After selecting ornaments, they shared screenshots of fake online payments and fled with the jewellery.
Acting swiftly, the police registered a case and traced the trio’s movements using surveillance tools. All three were arrested, and the following items were recovered:
Gold earrings
A silver chain
Two pairs of silver anklets
Around 100 grams of additional silver items
The motorcycle used for the crime
Mobile phones used to generate the fake payment proofs
Further investigations revealed that Suresh has a criminal past involving theft and robbery, while Sahil and Harsh have previous records related to similar frauds.
The case highlights a growing trend in cyber-enabled fraud targeting retail outlets, prompting law enforcement to increase digital transaction scrutiny.
