Srinagar 2 March: The Delhi Cyber Police have arrested two men from Srinagar for their involvement in a major online fraud case worth Rs 78 lakh. The accused, identified as Ibrahim Dar from Dana Mazar and Ehsan Ul Haq from Mehjoor Nagar, were caught along with a third person, Amjad, from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
The three were arrested from a rented flat in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, where they were running a fake online scam. The case started when Sarvesh Dwivedi, the account manager of Tex India Group, filed a complaint about a fraudulent transaction of Rs 78 lakh.
The accused used a fake WhatsApp profile pretending to be the owner of Tex India Group. They tricked people into transferring money to them. The police found out that the main person behind this scam, Wing Sang Shu, is from China and is still on the run. Another suspect, Ovais, is also being searched by the police.
During the raid, the police seized laptops and iPhones from the accused. Ibrahim Dar admitted during questioning that he transferred the stolen money to a fake bank account in Jammu and Kashmir, opened in Amjad’s name. The police are now looking into other fake accounts linked to the gang.
One of the accused, Ehsan Ul Haq, has a technical degree from a college in Jammu and Kashmir. The gang mainly targeted people through online chats, convincing them to send money under false promises.
The accused, who were also wanted by the Uttar Pradesh Police, have been sent to Lucknow for further investigation. Amjad’s bank account has been frozen as part of the probe.
The Delhi Cyber Police have advised people to be careful with online transactions. Always verify the identity of the person you are dealing with and avoid sharing personal or financial details with strangers.
This case shows how serious online fraud can be and why it’s important to stay alert. The police are working hard to catch all those involved and prevent such scams in the future.
