Noida Police Prevent ₹2 Crore Cyber Fraud, Save Seven Victims Across India

In a swift and coordinated operation, the Noida Police successfully prevented seven people from losing nearly ₹2 crore to an ongoing cyber fraud. The victims, located in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Telangana, Odisha, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, were saved after police intervention and timely alerts.

According to Shavya Goyal, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Cybercrime Branch, the operation followed a month-long investigation conducted in coordination with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). “Our team had been tracking the fraud network for weeks. In the last four days of intensive efforts, we identified and reached out to the victims before further money could be transferred,” Goyal said.

The police traced the victims through reports filed on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP). An official involved in the probe said that while several fraudulent bank accounts had already been flagged, fresh deposits continued to be made into them. “With the help of banks, we identified the senders and alerted them. Some were initially unwilling to believe they had been duped,” the official said.

In one case, a man from Uttar Pradesh transferred ₹14 lakh to the fraudsters, while another from Tamil Nadu lost ₹40 lakh. The Noida Police had to coordinate with state police teams and visit some victims’ homes personally to convince them of the fraud, overcoming challenges such as language barriers.

“All seven victims had invested in what they believed was a legitimate share market platform. Our efforts prevented them from losing further money. Similar operations will continue to protect more people from such scams,” Goyal said.

The victims have now been advised to register formal complaints with their respective local police stations.
