Faridabad Police arrest 42 cyber fraud suspects in one week, freeze Rs 38.56 lakh in related bank accounts

Faridabad, Oct 25 (UNI) Faridabad Police arrested 42 suspected cyber fraudsters, including three women, within seven days as part of a crackdown on online financial crimes.
Police recovered over Rs 14.35 lakh and froze an additional Rs 38.56 lakh in bank accounts linked to fraud complaints.
The arrests took place between October 17 and 23 in connection with 11 cases registered across three cyber police stations, under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters) Himadri Kaushik.
A police spokesperson stated that cyber police teams resolved 353 complaints during the week, reflecting intensified efforts to combat online fraud and protect victims’ funds.
According to the spokesperson, Cyber Police Station NIT handled four cases, Central handled five, and Ballabhgarh handled two, resulting in 42 arrests.
"During the seven-day operation, police recovered Rs 14,35,898 from the accused and secured the freezing of Rs 38,56,987 in various bank accounts linked to cyber fraud complaints," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the arrested suspects include Nahar Singh, Surender Singh, Pritam Jangid, Shobha Gangwal, Bijender Kumar, Deepak, Mohammad Mohsin, Mohammad Firasat, Rahul, Sarvesh, Harsh, and others.
Police said DCP Himadri Kaushik urged residents to remain vigilant against online fraudsters and avoid sharing OTPs, banking credentials, or confidential information with the unknown. The spokesperson warned that delays in reporting cyber fraud may reduce the chances of recovering stolen funds.
"Victims should immediately call the national cybercrime helpline 1930 or register their complaints at www.cybercrime.gov.in. Prompt reporting increases the possibility of freezing the defrauded amount before it is withdrawn or transferred," the spokesperson said.
