New Delhi: In a decisive strike against growing cybercrime networks, the Cyber Police Station of Dwarka District, Delhi, has arrested three individuals involved in online frauds. The arrests were made from cybercrime hotspots in Rajasthan and Delhi following a special operation aimed at dismantling emerging cyber fraud networks operating across state lines.
Under the leadership of DCP Dwarka, Sh. Ankit Singh, IPS, and the close supervision of ACP Operations Ram Avtar and SHO Cyber PS Insp. Rajeev Kumar, the Delhi Police’s cyber team conducted extensive raids in Tonk, Sikar, and Jaipur in Rajasthan, and Sirsa in Haryana, leading to the arrest of three cyber criminals—two from Rajasthan and one from Delhi.
The operation, launched in response to recent complaints filed at the Cyber Police Station in Dwarka, was initiated to target individuals involved in sophisticated fraud schemes like fake online investment offers and the so-called “digital arrest” scams. These schemes were used to trap unsuspecting victims, primarily from Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
The arrested individuals have been identified as:
- Deepak Verma (20), a resident of Newai in Tonk, Rajasthan. He was apprehended on July 2, 2025, in connection with FIR No. 102/24. He played a crucial role by providing bank accounts and SIM cards used in an investment fraud racket. Deepak is a 12th pass student currently pursuing further studies. He was lured into the crime by an associate named Rupesh Meena, earning Rs 3,000–5,000 for every account or SIM he provided.
- Surendra Kumar Dudi, hailing from Khendla in Sikar, Rajasthan, was arrested on July 2 in connection with FIR No. 09/25. He is believed to have received defrauded money from victims targeted through a “digital arrest” scam. A law graduate currently preparing for LLM in Jaipur, Surendra was drawn into cybercrime by his cousin, Dharmender Dudi.
- Rajveer, a resident of Sirsa, Haryana, was arrested in Delhi on June 30, 2025, under FIR No. 30/24. A 10th pass welder by profession, he became involved in an investment fraud case. He was manipulated by a friend, Gauri Shankar, who convinced him to open a current account in the name of his firm, which was then used to launder defrauded funds.
The arrests were part of a week-long targeted operation executed by a dedicated team comprising SI Vijay Kumar, HC Sumit, HC Manoj, HC Pravesh, and HC Deepak. The team, after thorough analysis of digital footprints and call records, tracked the accused to their hideouts in Rajasthan and Delhi.
According to police officials, the crackdown was prompted by the rising trend of cybercriminals operating from remote areas in Rajasthan—specifically Tonk, Sikar, and Jaipur—where a parallel underground cybercrime ecosystem appears to be taking shape. These regions have emerged as new hotspots for digital fraud, with local youths being roped into illicit online activities in return for small monetary gains.
During the raids, the cyber team also gathered leads on other suspects believed to be part of the same network, and follow-up investigations are ongoing. Authorities believe that cracking down on such networks early and arresting local operatives can significantly curb the growth of cyber fraud in vulnerable areas.
A police spokesperson emphasized that the arrests send a strong message to cyber offenders that law enforcement is stepping up surveillance and investigative measures to trace and dismantle fraudulent operations, regardless of their location.
The Cyber Police Station, Dwarka, has urged citizens to remain alert and cautious of online schemes, especially those that promise quick financial returns or threaten legal action through unfamiliar digital platforms. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious digital activity immediately.
The Delhi Police reaffirmed its commitment to cyber safety and security and vowed to continue its proactive approach to neutralize threats from cybercrime networks that prey on unsuspecting citizens.
