Delhi police dismantle major international cyber fraud network in Pitampura

The Delhi Police IFSO team's operation uncovered an elaborate international cybercrime network operating from a fake technical support call centre in Pitampura. The criminal syndicate posed as legitimate technology support providers to target unsuspecting victims in the United States and several other countries, tricking them into transferring substantial sums of money under false pretences.

According to police investigations, the accused employed sophisticated social engineering tactics to convince targets that their devices were compromised or required urgent technical intervention. Victims were then directed to make payments through various digital channels, with the fraudsters retaining the funds through a complex network of money transfers and cash withdrawals.

The coordinated crackdown led to the arrest of eleven individuals suspected of operating the call centre. Police seized computer equipment, mobile phones, and other materials used to execute the fraudulent operations. The network is believed to have been operational for a considerable period, defrauding hundreds of victims before being dismantled.

This operation highlights the growing menace of international cyber fraud rings operating from urban centres in India. Authorities have intensified efforts to identify and prosecute operators of such schemes, which exploit both domestic and overseas residents through deceptive online practices.
