Delhi Police Uncovers Cyber Fraud Syndicate Targeting Job Seekers

Delhi Police have dismantled a cyber fraud ring that deceived job seekers with fictitious overseas employment offers. The operation led to the arrest of three individuals, including an assistant bank manager. The group was accused of using fake visas and banking schemes to swindle money from unsuspecting victims.

A cyber fraud syndicate preying on job seekers with fake international employment offers has been busted by Delhi Police, leading to the arrest of three key suspects. This includes an assistant bank manager, according to official statements made on Monday.

Among those arrested were Ketan Deepak Kumar, 24, from Gujarat; Sanjib Mondal, 34, from West Bengal; and Ravi Kumar Mishra, 29, from Gurugram. They allegedly promised non-existent foreign job positions and diverted funds through mule accounts, authorities reported. Various electronic devices and cash were seized in the operation.

The group's arrest came after a complaint from a man who was lured with a fake job offer in New Zealand, which he discovered was a scam after losing Rs 1.80 lakh. A comprehensive investigation showed the involvement of counterfeit visas and support documents, prompting legal action under the BNS on October 7.
