Three men allegedly involved in duping people through online investment schemes and ‘digital arrest’ scams were nabbed from Delhi and Rajasthan, police said on Sunday.

The accused have been identified as Deepak Verma (20), a resident of Rajasthan’s Tonk, Surendra Kumar Dudi, a law student from Sikar and Rajveer, a welder from Haryana’s Sirsa who was arrested from Delhi, they said.

“While Verma and Rajveer were involved in online investment frauds, Surender is accused of being part of a digital arrest racket,” a police officer said.

According to the police, the operation was carried out after a series of cyber fraud cases were reported in Dwarka. Based on tip-off and digital footprint analysis, the team traced the accused in Rajasthan and Delhi.

“The team conducted multiple raids and apprehended the accused from different locations within a week,” he added.

Investigations revealed that Verma, a college student, was paid for providing bank accounts and SIM cards, while Surender was allegedly recruited by a cousin. Rajveer had opened a current account under his firm’s name at the behest of a friend, which was used for funneling fraud money.

Further investigation is underway to identify and arrest other members of the syndicate.
