Delhi Police Arrest Four, Including Nigerian National, in Parcel Fraud Scheme
Delhi Police have arrested four individuals accused of defrauding a local resident of Rs 1.46 lakh. The suspects allegedly tricked the victim by claiming he had a parcel containing gold and foreign currency waiting for him.
The Delhi Police Cyber Cell has dismantled a criminal syndicate involved in a sophisticated financial scam. According to authorities, the group targeted a Delhi resident by convincing him that a parcel containing US dollars and gold was being held for him. To release the package, the victim was coerced into paying Rs 1.46 lakh under various pretexts, such as customs duties and clearance fees.
Following an investigation into the cyber fraud, police successfully apprehended four individuals linked to the operation. Among those taken into custody is a Nigerian national, who officials suggest played a role in the syndicate's activities. The arrests mark a significant development in the ongoing crackdown on parcel-based scams, which have become an increasingly common method for cybercriminals to exploit unsuspecting victims in the capital. The police are currently interrogating the suspects to determine the full extent of the syndicate's reach and whether other individuals have been targeted by the same group.
