Police bust international cyber fraud syndicate

The Delhi Police has busted a major international cyber fraud syndicate — linked with over 2,000 complaints and scams worth over Rs 300 crore — with the arrest of its alleged mastermind and 10 others. During the investigation, police uncovered a well-organised network operating across multiple states with links to international cyber fraud syndicates, particularly in Cambodia.

“We have so far identified over 260 bank accounts linked to more than 100 fictitious companies used to channel the proceeds of crime. The total number of complaints linked to the syndicate stands at 2,567,” police said. The key accused, Karan Kajaria, was apprehended at Kolkata airport on April 3 after a look-out circular was issued against him.
