Delhi Police have busted an international cyber fraud syndicate allegedly involved in duping victims of nearly ₹300 crore, officials said, marking one of the biggest crackdowns on organised online crime in the national capital. The operation led to multiple arrests and the seizure of digital equipment used to run the racket.

According to investigators, the syndicate operated across borders, targeting individuals through sophisticated online scams, including impersonation, investment fraud, and phishing schemes. The accused are believed to have used fake identities and shell accounts to route money, making it difficult for authorities to trace transactions in real time.

Police officials said the gang relied on call centres and encrypted communication platforms to coordinate activities and approach victims. Many of those targeted were lured with promises of high returns on investments or were tricked into sharing sensitive financial information, which was then used to siphon funds.

The investigation was launched following a series of complaints from victims across multiple states, prompting a coordinated effort involving cyber cells and financial intelligence units. Authorities tracked digital footprints, bank transactions, and IP logs to identify key operatives and uncover the scale of the operation.

During the raids, police seized laptops, mobile phones, SIM cards, and other electronic devices suspected to have been used in executing the fraud. Officials said further forensic analysis is underway to identify additional victims and possible international links tied to the network.

The crackdown highlights growing concerns over cybercrime in India, with officials urging the public to remain cautious while dealing with unsolicited online offers or unknown callers. Police have advised citizens to verify credentials before making financial transactions and to report suspicious activity promptly to cybercrime authorities.
