New Delhi, May 5: In a significant operation, police in New Delhi’s eastern district have uncovered two separate cases involving illegal liquor trafficking and an interstate cyber fraud ring. A total of six suspects have been arrested, along with the recovery of substantial amounts of illegal goods and digital evidence.
In the first case, the cyber police of the eastern district apprehended five individuals linked to an interstate cyber fraud gang. This group had been deceiving people across the country through online investment schemes and task-based plans. The suspects were captured in Udham Singh Nagar district of Uttarakhand, where police seized five mobile phones from them.
Investigations revealed that the gang lured individuals via messaging apps, initially showing small profits before convincing them to transfer larger sums to various bank accounts. Subsequently, these funds were obscured through multiple accounts to evade detection by investigative agencies. According to police, the fraud involved over ₹340,000.
During interrogation, the suspects admitted to providing mule bank accounts in exchange for commissions. This network operated nationwide in an organized manner. Authorities stated that further investigations are ongoing, and efforts are being made to locate additional suspects.
In a second case, the special staff of the eastern district conducted a raid in the Kalyanpuri area based on confidential information, leading to the arrest of a suspect identified as 19-year-old Rahul. He was involved in the storage and sale of illegal liquor in the area. Police recovered approximately 120 liters of illegal alcohol and beer from his possession.
The seized liquor was labeled for sale in Haryana, suggesting it could be part of an organized supply network. The suspect was caught selling the alcohol on-site and later admitted to his involvement in the illegal trade. Police are currently investigating the entire network.
