New Delhi Taking major action against cyber crime, Shahdara District Police has arrested two accused in the case of Telegram based investment fraud. Police have also recovered mobile phones used in the crime from the possession of the accused. This action was taken by the team of Police Station Cyber Shahdara on the basis of technical evidence and digital investigation, which revealed an organized cyber fraud network. The matter came to light on 12 November 2025, when 30-year-old Raman Sharma, resident of Shahdara, lodged a complaint that he was defrauded in the name of investment through Telegram.
According to the complaint, on July 18, 2025, he was contacted through a Telegram group, where unknown persons lured him with crypto trading and lucrative investment schemes. The fraudsters won their trust by showing screenshots of fake profits and false claims of other people’s profits. Falling under these false allurements, the complainant transferred a total amount of ₹ 1,05,969/- to three different bank accounts and UPI IDs. In this regard, a case was registered under FIR number 120/2025 in Cyber Shahdara police station and investigation was started.
A special team was formed during the investigation, comprising HC Dharmendra, HC Vikas and HC Sandeep, led by Inspector Vineet Kumar. The team identified the accused through technical surveillance, investigation of digital transactions and tracking of mobile numbers. After sustained efforts, the police arrested two accused—Rinku (28 years), resident of Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh and Abhishek Yadav (26 years), resident of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. Investigation revealed that the accused Rinku was the main user of the mobile number, which was directly linked to the bank account from which the defrauded amount was received.
At the same time, Abhishek Yadav operated the mobile number on which OTP and transaction related alerts were received. At the time of arrest, two mobile phones were recovered from both the accused, which were being used for fraudulent transactions and communication. This prompt and technically powerful action of Shahdara Police has given a message of strict vigilance against cyber criminals. Further investigation of the case is underway, in which other persons associated with this fraud network are being identified.
