Two arrested for posing as Delhi Jal Board officials, running phishing scam

Two cyber fraudsters were arrested Saturday for allegedly orchestrating a phishing scam in which they impersonated officials from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB).

Police said the accused, Deepak Kumar, 22, and Pappu Ray, 25, would exploit their victims by threatening to disconnect their water supply and tricking them into sharing their banking credentials. The investigation led to the recovery of Rs 4.6 lakh frozen in multiple bank accounts linked to the two men, said police.
