The Shahdara Cyber Police have apprehended a Chinese national, Fang Chenjin, in a widespread cyber fraud operation that spans multiple Indian states. Initially investigated for a Rs 43.5 lakh scam, the case expanded to reveal connections to fraudulent activities exceeding Rs 100 crore.
The investigation began with a complaint from Suresh Kolichiyil Achuthan in July, who was deceived into investing Rs 43.5 lakh through fake stock market training programs conducted via WhatsApp groups. The scammer directed funds to various bank accounts under their control.
The investigation uncovered:
- Two additional cases of cybercrime and money laundering in Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh

The police continue their investigation, suggesting the possibility of uncovering more victims and additional fraud networks. The case highlights the growing sophistication of cyber financial crimes targeting Indian investors.
