Delhi Police Uncover Sophisticated Cyber Scam Linked to Chinese Groups
A sophisticated cyber scam linked to an alleged cross-border network operating via Chinese groups on Telegram and a key handler based in Dubai has been uncovered by Delhi Police.
The scam involved siphoning off nearly Rs 12.84 crore from Hero FinCorp Ltd, a top non-banking financial firm (NBFC), through 317 unauthorized transactions on August 21.
Police arrested five people in raids across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana, including a private bank relationship manager who helped open mule accounts.
The syndicate managed to siphon the funds through multiple layers of banking before converting a large portion into USDT (cryptocurrency) and sending it abroad.
