Delhi Police Dismantle China-Linked Cyber Fraud Syndicate

The Delhi Police has dismantled a high-profile cyber fraud syndicate linked to China, arresting four individuals for their role in facilitating overseas cybercrime operations.

The syndicate operated as a critical domestic layer for foreign threat actors by providing infrastructure services, including procuring mule bank accounts and securing active SIM cards. These accounts were used to convert stolen fiat currency into Tether (USDT) cryptocurrency.

The crackdown was part of an investigation into a task-based work-from-home scam that defrauded an Indian citizen of ₹12 lakh.
