Gurugram Police Dismantles Cyber Fraud Operation, Three Arrested for Rs 26 Lakh Scam

Gurugram police have uncovered a significant cyber fraud network operating out of a call centre in Ghaziabad, leading to the arrest of three suspects accused of defrauding individuals out of Rs 26 lakh through false investment schemes in insurance and bonds.

Authorities discovered that the accused had been conducting the fraudulent operation by exploiting data from a previous employment at an insurance firm. They contacted potential victims under false pretenses, encouraging investments which never materialized.

During the raid, police seized multiple mobile phones, SIM cards, and cash, linking the suspects, Udit Chopra, Jitesh Kumar Srivastava, and Himanshu Premi, to the crime. The ongoing investigation indicates that funds were handled through complex transactions including ATM withdrawals and cheque issuances.

Earlier arrests in the case involved individuals responsible for ATM money withdrawals and providing essential resources like SIM cards. Law enforcement continues interrogating the suspects to further uncover the fraud's scope.
