The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Cyber Cell under the Special Cell of Delhi Police has dismantled a well-organised transnational cybercrime syndicate that was operating covertly from the national capital, leading to the arrest of nine accused allegedly involved in large-scale cyber fraud and money-laundering activities.

As per police officials, the operation was initiated on November 26, 2025, after IFSO received credible and specific intelligence indicating that a cyber-fraud network was functioning from a hotel in Dwarka and was using multiple bank accounts to route and siphon off illicit proceeds. Acting promptly on the information, an IFSO team carried out a raid at the hotel premises and apprehended four accused— Sultan Salim Shaikh, a resident of Palghar in Maharashtra; Sayed Ahmad Choudhary of Bengaluru, Karnataka; Satish Kumar from Bhiwandi in Thane district, Maharashtra; and Tushar Maliya of Shahdara, Delhi.
