Faridabad/Gautam Buddh Nagar: Bisrakh Police have apprehended six members of an active fraud gang involved in deceiving victims by promising to double their money. During the operation, the police recovered two luxury vehicles, ₹575,000 in cash, fake documents, and other equipment used in the scam.
Incident Overview
On December 5, 2025, the complainant filed a written report at Bisrakh Police Station stating that his brother-in-law, Vishal Agarwal, had been promising to double money for the past ten days. The complainant and his brother-in-law arranged ₹16,50,000 and went to Gaur City Mall on the evening of December 4. There, they met Sonu Yadav and another individual who led them to a flat. Inside, four accused replaced the cash with fake notes in a bag and fled with the real money. Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered under Section 316(2) BNS, Case No. 947/2025.

Modus Operandi
According to police, the gang lured victims by offering to double their money under the pretext of note exchange. The gang consisted of six to seven members. Two members directly trapped the victims, while others were stationed in advance inside the flat. The accused concealed their real identities and created an illusion of counting real currency and packing it in bags to defraud the victims.
