Delhi Police Arrest Two More in Fake Loan App Fraud Case Under Operation CyHawk 4.0

The Delhi Police’s Cyber Police Station has made two additional arrests in connection with a large-scale fake loan app fraud case, which was initially uncovered during Operation CyHawk 4.0.

Investigation Unfolds:

The operation aims to combat online financial scams, extortion, and the misuse of mule bank accounts.

According to sources, “The investigation began when the police discovered a Bank of Baroda account in Kapashera that was allegedly used to launder money obtained through the scam.”

An examination of the duo’s communication records revealed connections with other suspected members of the syndicate via virtual numbers linked to Pakistan and Bangladesh, raising concerns about potential external assistance and compromise of Indian citizens’ personal data.

Arrests Made:

Karan Kumar (24), a resident of Kapashera in New Delhi, was taken into custody after investigators discovered he was part of a larger syndicate involved in the scam.
Shami Ahmad (27), also a resident of Kapashera, was arrested after evidence of incriminating chats on his mobile phone corroborated his involvement in the fake loan app network.

The investigation continues to identify the remaining members of the syndicate and determine the extent of their operations, with a focus on recovering cheated funds and disrupting the fake loan app scam network.
