Delhi Police arrest 3 in ₹15.31L Aadhaar cyber scam
Delhi Police just took down a cyber fraud gang that scammed a man out of ₹15.31 lakh by pretending his Aadhaar was tied to illegal activity.
Three young men, Ankit, Saif Ansari, and Mohammad Noor Alam, were arrested, with police freezing ₹1,03,142 and seizing their phones.
The money trail led investigators to Faridabad, where they discovered the funds were allegedly converted into cryptocurrency and sent to an overseas handler.
Scammers impersonated police, extracted funds
It all started with a fake call warning the victim about his Aadhaar being misused.
The scammers then posed as police officers and pressured him for bank details, convincing him to transfer money between January 9 and 16 for verification by RBI auditors.
Their multi-layered trickery made it easy for them to scare people into giving up cash without suspecting a thing.
