New Delhi: The Delhi Police has arrested nine persons allegedly associated with a pan-India investment fraud and cyber mule syndicate purportedly linked to 34 complaints involving more than Rs 15.71 crore, officials said on Tuesday. The probe has also uncovered suspected links with persons based in Qatar, and alleged operational coordination with Dubai-based cybercriminals, they said. The victim initially transferred Rs 4.82 lakh through multiple bank accounts and was allowed a small withdrawal to inspire confidence. Suspecting fraud, he filed a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP). Investigators traced the money trail and digital footprints across several states, initially leading them to Maharashtra, where Shoeb was arrested from Nandurbar.
