Delhi Police Crack Pan-India Cyber Fraud Syndicate

The Delhi Police have successfully dismantled a sprawling cyber fraud syndicate operating across India, officials announced on Friday. The syndicate, allegedly masterminded by an Indian residing in Dubai, relied on fake firms and multiple current accounts to launder funds stolen from victims in at least a dozen states.

Following the sensitive digital surveillance, coordinated raids saw the arrests of five individuals: Manjeet Singh, Manshvi, Manish Mehra, Sombir, and bank executive Anup. This crackdown revealed the group's connections to a handler known as Tom, who orchestrated the operation from abroad.

The accused converted their illicit proceeds into the cryptocurrency USD Tether to obscure the money trail. Authorities recovered substantial evidence, including mobile phones and laptops with information on cryptocurrency wallets. The ongoing investigation aims to uncover further links to overseas handlers and track the laundered money across international borders.
