Mathura cyber crime police have helped a former serviceman recover Rs 5,20,782 after he fell victim to a cyber fraud, acting swiftly after the complaint was lodged and coordinating with the beneficiary bank and court authorities to secure and return part of the siphoned amount.
Complaint Filed After Courier Link Fraud
The victim, Aaqil Khan, filed a complaint on the NCRP portal on April 26, 2026. He stated that after clicking on a link sent to him for tracking a courier, a total of Rs 8.41 lakh was fraudulently withdrawn from his account.
As soon as the complaint was received, Mathura cyber crime police began an inquiry. The team contacted the beneficiary SBI bank by email and got the defrauded amount put on hold. The prompt response appears to have been crucial in preventing the entire sum from moving further through the banking system.

The nodal officer of SBI Patna provided special assistance throughout the process. After receiving the money, Aaqil Khan thanked the Mathura cyber crime police and appreciated their working style.
Police Urge Public to Avoid Unknown Links
Cyber crime station in charge Inspector Rifat Masjid said cyber criminals commit fraud by sending fake links. He appealed to people not to click on any unknown link and not to share their banking details.
He also said that if anyone becomes a victim of cyber fraud, they should immediately file a complaint on the cyber helpline number 1930 or on the NCRP portal so that the amount can be put on hold and returned in time.
