Overview

• Deepak Kumar Saini, 31, was arrested in Sikar, Rajasthan, on August 10 and is held at Dwarka’s Cyber Police Station with his mobile phone seized as evidence.
• Police say Saini exploited his role to install financial apps on his 80-year-old employer’s phone and capture OTPs to transfer ₹14.35 lakh between January 30 and June 6 without her knowledge.
• Technical forensics including call detail records and IP logs linked the transfers to Saini’s accounts and revealed his ties to Telegram gambling groups “Kingstar,” “Rockstar” and “King Ludo Betting.”
• Victim Manjusha Rani Gupta filed an FIR on July 16 under Section 306 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after noticing unauthorized bank transactions on her Paytm-linked account.
• Authorities are coordinating across states to recover the misappropriated funds and are probing the broader online gambling network involved in the fraud.
