The Delhi Police’s Central District Cyber Police uncovered an online investment fraud case amounting to Rs 21.46 lakh and apprehended two individuals for deceiving a victim with false promises of lucrative investments and prepaid tasks. The investigation revealed the money trail through technical means and secured crucial digital evidence. An e-FIR was filed on November 13, 2025, at Cyber Central Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after a complaint of online fraud.
A dedicated team, led by Sub-Inspector Ranvijay Singh and comprising Head Constables Sandeep and Paramveer along with Constable Anuj, was formed to address the serious nature of the offense. Extensive technical surveillance and financial transaction tracking were conducted to trace the money flow, leading to the discovery of a suspicious transaction of Rs 3 lakh to a bank account in Rajasthan’s Sikar.
Following this lead, the police team interrogated a local resident, Surender, who disclosed receiving the money from Narender. Narender, in turn, admitted passing on a portion of the funds to Prem Prakash after retaining a commission. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of Narender and Prem Prakash, residents of Sikar, while efforts are ongoing to locate another suspect, Ankit. The operation also resulted in the seizure of two mobile phones used in the crime.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central District, Rohit Rajbir Singh, confirmed that the investigation is progressing, with efforts to trace additional suspects and verify the criminal backgrounds of the arrested individuals.
