SRINAGAR, MAR 01: Delhi Cyber Police have arrested three individuals, including two residents of Srinagar, in connection with a cyber fraud case amounting to ₹78 lakh. The accused have been identified as Ibrahim Dar of Dana Mazar and Ehsan Ul Haq of Mehjoor Nagar in Srinagar, along with Amjad from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
The trio was arrested from a rented flat in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, where they had allegedly been operating a scam using the WhatsApp profile of the owner of Tex India Group. The mastermind behind the operation has been identified as Wing Sang Shu, a Chinese national, who is currently absconding. Another suspect, Ovais, is also being pursued by authorities.
The case was registered following a complaint by Sarvesh Dwivedi, the account manager of Tex India Group, who reported a fraudulent transaction of ₹78 lakh. Based on surveillance and tracking efforts, police apprehended the accused at their accommodation, which they had rented for ₹80,000 per month.
During the investigation, laptops and iPhones were recovered from the accused. Ibrahim Dar reportedly admitted to transferring the swindled money to a fraudulent account in Jammu and Kashmir, which was opened in Amjad’s name. Authorities are now working to uncover additional fraudulent accounts linked to the gang.
Reports indicate that one of the accused from Mehjoor Nagar had completed a technical degree from a college in Jammu and Kashmir and was using his expertise to conduct online fraud. The trio allegedly targeted victims by engaging them in online chats and deceiving them into transferring funds.
Currently, Ibrahim Dar and Ehsan Ul Haq are in police custody in Lucknow, while Amjad’s bank account has been frozen. Authorities continue their search for the Chinese mastermind and other accomplices involved in the scam.
