New Delhi, April 11 The Delhi Police has arrested three individuals for their alleged involvement in a Rs 10 lakh online investment fraud, an official said on Saturday.
The case was registered on February 2 this year based on a complaint by Amit Kumar Jain, a resident of Subash Park in Shahdara, who alleged that unknown individuals had cheated him by promising high returns from stock market investments.
Police said the complainant was added to a social media group in December 2025, where he was persuaded to invest money with assurances of guaranteed profits. Trusting the claims, he transferred Rs 10 lakh.
However, after receiving the money, the accused stopped communicating and blocked him.
During the investigation, police found that a portion of the defrauded amount had been routed through a bank account operated from Rohini.
Acting on this information, they raided a place in Vijay Vihar and apprehended three accused, Sumit (26), Sandeep (42), and Kamal Kumar (41).
"Interrogation confirmed that the accused operated mule bank accounts used to receive and transfer cheated money," a senior police officer said. Further investigation is underway, police added.
