Delhi Police Bust Pair for Matrimonial Cyber Scam

Kohima: Delhi Police busted a cyber fraud ring operating out of Uttam Nagar. Officers arrested Kouadio Victor Nda, a 36-year-old Ivory Coast native, and his partner Anei Konyak, 30, at their rented flat in Hastsal Vihar. The pair targeted women on matrimonial sites. They promised marriage to gain trust and then drained their victims of cash.

The duo ran a sophisticated operation. They used multiple bank accounts and debit cards tied to mule accounts to hide the money trail. Nda lived in India illegally. Konyak handled the physical cash withdrawals at various ATMs because she drew less heat than a foreign national. A senior police official said, "The accused allegedly used matrimonial platforms to establish contact with women, lure them into fake romantic relationships and subsequently cheat them of money on the false promise of marriage."

The Dwarka district Anti-Narcotics Cell moved in after tracking cyber fraud syndicates across the city. A raid on the Uttam Nagar hideout turned up a laptop, five mobile phones, and four debit cards. Checks on the cards linked them to a fraud case in Assam. Police are now hunting for other members of the network while the pair faces charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Immigration Act, and the Foreigners Act.
