Delhi Police have apprehended a 34-year-old man accused of defrauding individuals by sending fake links to activate their credit cards, according to officials.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), Ankit Chauhan, detailed the complaint that led to the arrest. A man, posing as a bank official, contacted a victim to assist with activating a newly issued credit card. The victim was asked to input his card credentials into a provided application link, resulting in a loss of more than Rs 99,000 through two transactions.

Following an FIR, authorities traced the money to a bank account and observed an Rs 14,500 ATM withdrawal at a service station. CCTV footage enabled the identification of Deepak Kumar, who was apprehended after being lured to the service station. The police seized five mobile phones, 11 debit cards, four Aadhaar cards, two voter cards, Rs 60,000 in cash, and a car. Further investigation revealed Kumar's involvement in two earlier cyber fraud cases from 2017 and 2021.
