In a significant breakthrough, police have apprehended five individuals, including the purported leader of a pan-India digital fraud gang, for reportedly swindling a Delhi woman out of Rs 20 lakh.
The suspects allegedly impersonated a deputy commissioner from Mumbai Police, warning the victim her Aadhar card was implicated in criminal activities.
Later, the fraudsters extracted Rs 90,000 from her and deceitfully obtained a personal loan in her name, funneling the money into their own accounts.
Law enforcement conducted a meticulous raid in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, resulting in the arrests. A comprehensive investigation is ongoing, according to officials.
