New Delhi| Delhi Police has arrested two fraudsters. Simultaneously, the police have unearthed a unique modus operandi of cyber fraud, in which the accused obtained a duplicate mobile SIM card of a victim and transferred all the money from his account. An official has given this information on Monday. The accused have been identified as Yatish Kumar, a resident of Bijnor district and Dharmendra Kumar alias Raman Yadav, a resident of Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh.

According to the police, an FIR was registered at the cyber police station in Shahdara in which complainant Rizwan Alam alleged that he had taken a loan, to repay which he sold a small shop and deposited a total of Rs 5 lakh. Ujjivan Small Finance Bank account was deducted through multiple UPI transactions without receiving any OTP.
