Fraudsters threaten victims by impersonating police
After the businessman refused to pay further, another group of scammers called him as policemen. They threatened to seize his home and arrest him unless he paid the extra payment.
Police investigation and arrest
The case was registered in January 2025. “During the inquiry period, a case was registered against a resident of NUH,” police said. “The team went to NUH and arrested him.”
Further investigation led to the arrest of an 18-year-old boy from Rajasthan. Police said the two collaborated to deceive people by pretending to be RBI officials. Another partner pretended to be a policeman.
Another businessman lost Rs 1.2 lakh in industrial land scam
In another incident, a businessman from Paschim Vihar was deceived by two people for Rs 1.2 lakh, who served as an official at the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC). They make money by re-organizing industrial land.
Fake websites and files used in fraud
The suspect created a fake website and showed the businessman that his name had been selected. They arranged a meeting with him and introduced the forged documents. Later, he realized he had been liared and filed a complaint with the Connaught Square Police Department. Warning sources show that the complainant applied for industrial land redistribution in 2002 and had an application number. On February 18, he received a call from a person claiming to be a DSIIDC official. “The caller told him that his application had been selected and that he was the relationship manager for the property,” the complainant said. The fraudsters arranged a meeting in Connaught Place where they showed him fake documents and a fraudulent website.
A suspect was arrested and investigation continues
The businessman was tempted to pay the processing fee before realizing he was cheated. Police arrested a suspect and the investigation was underway.
