The victim, Ms. A., resident of Tyagi Market, Pradhan Enclave, Burari, Delhi, lodged a complaint with the Cyber Police, stating that she had been approached via WhatsApp with an offer of a part-time job promising handsome returns. After expressing interest, she was added to a Telegram group where she was instructed to perform several online tasks such as rating hotels, restaurants, and companies to earn money. Gradually, the fraudsters asked her to make prepaid payments to UPI IDs and bank accounts under the pretext of investing in profitable schemes. By the time she realized the scam, she had transferred ₹2,96,300 to various accounts controlled by the gang.
Following the complaint, FIR No. 26/2025 was registered on 21 April 2025 at PS Cyber North, Delhi under section 318(4) BNS, and the investigation was taken up by a dedicated cyber crime team.

Formation of the Special Investigation Team
To tackle this sophisticated cyber crime, a special investigation team was constituted under the leadership of Inspector Sandeep Shrivastav, assisted by SI Sandeep Kumar, HC Bijender, and HC Ajay Kumar. The team operated under the close supervision of Inspector Rohit Gahlot, SHO/Cyber Police Station North, with guidance from Ms. Vidhushi Kaushik, ACP/Operations, North District. The team worked tirelessly to trace the digital footprints of the accused, including CDR data, IMEI numbers, and financial transactions, ensuring that no clue went unchecked.
The investigation revealed that the fraud was not limited to Delhi but spanned across states, with the accused operating from Jaipur (Rajasthan) and Agra (Uttar Pradesh). The operation required multi-city coordination, careful planning, and real-time monitoring to prevent the accused from fleeing or destroying evidence.
Technical Investigation and CDR Analysis
A critical element of the operation was the technical analysis conducted by the Cyber Police. Call Detail Records (CDRs) were scrutinized to trace communication patterns, locations, and coordination among gang members. Alongside, IMEI data from seized devices provided critical leads, while money trail analysis helped identify the bank accounts used for the fraudulent transactions.
Through this detailed digital forensic approach, the police identified three key accused individuals involved in the cyber fraud racket:
- Kuldeep Kushwaha, 22, resident of Vill. Chauwli, Agra, U.P., working in a bike showroom, had provided his bank account to the gang and received commissions for transactions.
- Kuldeep Singh, 23, Science Graduate from Agra, U.P., and a loan agent, facilitated the sale of bank accounts to the kingpin.
- Rahul Chaudhary, 21, resident of Vill. Choru, Tehsil Phagi, Jaipur, Rajasthan, pursuing M.Sc., acted as the intermediary and received commissions for each transaction handled.
The CDRs and transaction histories clearly showed the involvement of these accused in the cyber fraud operation spanning several years.
Three Arrested in Delhi Cyber Fraud Case Involving UPI & Bank Accounts
Coordinated Raids and Arrests
On 15 October 2025, coordinated raids were conducted in Agra and Jaipur. The first arrest was that of Kuldeep Kushwaha in Agra, whose HDFC Bank account was found to hold a portion of the defrauded amount. During interrogation, Kushwaha revealed the involvement of Kuldeep Singh, who had initially persuaded him to sell his bank account for Rs. 4,000. Singh, in turn, sold the account to Rahul Chaudhary, who managed transactions for the gang and forwarded proceeds to the kingpin, identified as Arvind, a resident of Narnaul, Haryana.
Following Kushwaha’s disclosures, Kuldeep Singh was immediately apprehended in Agra, and subsequently, Rahul Chaudhary was arrested from Mansarovar, Jaipur. During interrogation, it emerged that all three had studied together in B.Sc. in Agra, and Arvind, the gang leader, had later undergone cyber crime training in Malaysia. Rahul and Kuldeep Singh had been operating in the cyber fraud business for 2-3 years, establishing a well-organized interstate network.
The coordinated raids led to the seizure of key evidence including mobile phones with SIM cards, chat records, cheque books, account opening kits, and a PAN card. These items confirmed the methods used by the gang to lure victims, manipulate accounts, and transfer large sums of money.
Modus Operandi of the Gang
The gang primarily targeted unsuspecting individuals through online messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram. Victims were promised high returns from part-time jobs requiring them to perform simple tasks online. Once the victim showed interest, they were added to groups where they were gradually asked to transfer money to pre-assigned accounts, under the guise of investing or performing prepaid tasks to earn profits.
Arvind, the kingpin, coordinated the operation from Haryana, using intermediaries like Rahul Chaudhary to manage transactions and issue commissions. Kuldeep Singh and Kuldeep Kushwaha acted as facilitators by selling their bank accounts and assisting in moving money across accounts. Each member earned commissions, making the operation financially lucrative.
This sophisticated system enabled the gang to defraud victims across multiple states while minimizing direct involvement of the kingpin. The multi-layered approach, including the use of multiple bank accounts, account-selling, and remote coordination, made it difficult for law enforcement to track the fraud without detailed technical investigations.

Impact on the Victim and Public Awareness
The victim, Ms. A., faced substantial financial loss due to the scam, highlighting the vulnerability of individuals to online frauds. The incident underscores the need for public awareness regarding the risks associated with online part-time job offers, Telegram groups, and prepayment schemes promising unrealistic returns.
The Delhi Police emphasized that such cyber crimes exploit trust, online platforms, and gaps in digital literacy. Citizens are urged to verify job offers, avoid sharing bank account details, and report suspicious online requests immediately.
Recovery and Evidence
Following the arrests, several key items were recovered from the accused:
- Three mobile phones with active SIM cards containing incriminating chat records.
- Two cheque books, account opening kit forms, and a PAN card used in the fraud operations.
These items provided the necessary evidence to link the accused to the cyber fraud activities, corroborate the victim’s complaint, and ensure prosecution in court.
Efforts to Nab the Kingpin
Despite the arrests, the gang’s leader, Arvind, remains at large. Authorities are intensifying efforts to locate and apprehend him. Investigations continue to determine the full extent of the gang’s operations, identify additional victims, and recover further defrauded funds. The Delhi Police has assured that all leads are being pursued rigorously to ensure the kingpin faces justice.
Law Enforcement Statement
Dy. Commissioner of Police, North District, Delhi, Raja Banthia, IPS, praised the efforts of the Cyber Police Station team for their diligence and professionalism in tracking down the gang. He highlighted that such coordinated operations are crucial to combat sophisticated cyber crimes that cross state boundaries and exploit digital platforms.
He further stated, “Cyber frauds are evolving with technology, and we must continuously adapt our investigation techniques. This case demonstrates the importance of technical expertise, meticulous planning, and collaboration among multiple units to protect citizens from online crimes.”
Lessons and Future Measures
The case serves as a warning to individuals about the dangers of online scams promising high returns with minimal effort. It also emphasizes the need for stronger cyber security awareness, monitoring of financial transactions, and prompt reporting of suspicious activity.
For law enforcement, the case reinforces the importance of:
