Delhi police bust AI-based QR code fraud, accused arrested from Rajasthan
In a separate incident, Delhi police have arrested a man from Rajasthan for carrying out a sophisticated cyber fraud involving tampered QR codes, using artificial intelligence tools to divert digital payments. The arrest was made following a complaint in North Delhi, where two digital transactions amounting to Rs 1.40 lakh were deducted from a customer’s bank account but never reached the intended shopkeeper.
Cyber police registered an FIR
Speaking on the case, North Delhi DCP Raja Banthia said the cyber police registered an FIR after the discrepancy came to light and launched a detailed investigation.
“Two transactions totalling Rs 140,000 occurred, but the payment didn’t reach the shopkeeper despite being deducted from the customer’s account,” DCP Banthia said. He added that investigations traced the suspicious transactions to a bank account linked to the accused, who was later identified, located and arrested from Chaksu in Jaipur district, Rajasthan.
