New Delhi, Apr 10 (PTI) The Delhi Police has busted an interstate cyber fraud racket that duped people under the pretext of providing overseas jobs and visa services, arresting three people, an official said on Friday.
The accused have been identified as Nand Kishor Prasad, Ahmad Hayat Khan and Mustaq Khan. Police identified Shadab, also known as Mohd Khusnood, as the mastermind who generated leads through online platforms; however, he is absconding.
According to the police, action was taken after a victim complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP), alleging that he was induced via social media to pay money for an overseas job and visa. After receiving payment, the suspects stopped responding.
Police registered a case, and technical surveillance led them to a location in Rani Bagh. During the raid, the accused was apprehended. Police said the syndicate operated in a structured manner, targeting victims via social media and messaging platforms with fake overseas job offers. Victims were redirected to fake websites and shown forged visa documents to gain their trust.
“The accused collected between Rs 15,000 and Rs 90,000 from each victim before cutting off contact,” a senior police officer said.
During the raid, police recovered six smartphones, two laptops, four desktop computers, 14 passports, a pen drive containing fake visas, forged documents, fake stamps and seals.
Digital evidence, including chats and transaction details, has also been seized. Further investigation is underway. PTI BM BM ASD ASD
