Delhi Police arrested two in a China-linked cyber scam that stole ₹33 lakh via fake investments and crypto.

Delhi Police have dismantled a multi-state cybercrime syndicate linked to China, arresting two suspects in a scam that defrauded a 61-year-old man of over ₹33 lakh through a fake investment scheme. The operation, which culminated in the arrest of Shubham in Tilak Nagar on December 6, 2025, revealed the use of shell companies, fake bank accounts, and cryptocurrency—specifically USDT—laundered through a Chinese-linked entity. Police recovered digital devices, chequebooks, and debit cards, and found evidence of money laundering via multiple transaction layers. The investigation is ongoing.
