According to officials, several people — including Delhi Police personnel — have been targeted. The messages, sent from foreign numbers, appear to be from a woman claiming to have “important proof” or videos related to the November 10 explosion that killed 13 people and injured more than two dozen.
To make the claim look genuine, the fraudsters are attaching .apk files and zip folders, urging recipients to download them to “see the truth” behind the blast. Police say these files are malicious and can infect a device, steal data, or give hackers remote access.
Authorities have urged the public not to download any suspicious attachments, especially from unknown or international numbers. They also advised users to report such messages immediately and keep their devices updated with security patches.
The investigation into both the blast and the cyber fraud attempts is ongoing.
