Ten people have been arrested from different parts of Haryana and Rajasthan for allegedly duping people from Delhi-NCR after contacting them through e-commerce websites. The cyber cell of Delhi Police carried out the operation as part of a crackdown to curb online crimes originating from the Nuh, Bharatpur and Mathura tri-junction region, using popular e-commerce platforms engaged in sale-resale of goods. According to around 300 complaints received on the national cybercrime portal, the accused posed as army/paramilitary personnel to gain trust of victims. The SIM cards used in the racket were sourced from as far as Barpeta in Assam and Telangana. “The complaints had various commonalities such as fraudsters impersonating army/paramilitary personnel, fake e-wallet transaction screenshots and use of malicious QR codes,” said DCP (cyber) Anyesh Roy. “The complaints also revealed that the fraudsters were using same names. This indicated the involvement of a huge gang of cyber criminals targeting unsuspecting people across the country.”
