New Delhi, April 10 The Delhi Police has cracked a transnational cyber fraud racket that cheated people by offering overseas jobs and visa services, arresting three individuals, 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 at large.
According to the police, action was taken following a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP), alleging that the victim was induced via social media to pay money for an overseas job and visa. After receiving the 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 were 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 directed 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, and fake stamps and seals.
Digital evidence, including chats and transaction details, has also been seized. Further investigation is underway.
