Delhi Police recently arrested five individuals involved in a large-scale social media investment fraud. What key role did bank employee Mohit Dadhich allegedly play in this scam?
Ignored KYC rules to help open fraudulent accountsMohit Dadhich, a Karnataka Bank official at the RK Puram branch, was arrested for allegedly aiding fraudsters by bypassing mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) verification procedures. This allowed the creation of multiple 'mule' accounts using forged documents, which were then used to launder money from the scam. He reportedly received commissions of up to 1.9% per transaction for his involvement. His actions exemplify the deep collusion between financial insiders and cybercriminals uncovered in this case. Without such internal assistance, the scale and sophistication of the fraud would have been significantly harder to execute.

Which of the following best describes how victims were initially lured in the social media investment fraud uncovered by Delhi Police in October 2025?
Shown small initial profits to build trust before larger investments were takenThe fraudsters used Telegram channels to contact potential victims, promising high returns on fake investment schemes. To gain credibility, they would show small, fictitious profits in the victims’ online dashboards after initial deposits. This psychological tactic built trust, encouraging victims to invest larger sums. Once substantial amounts were deposited—such as the `4.8 lakh lost by one woman—the fraudsters would vanish. This method is typical of 'pig-butchering' scams, where trust is cultivated before the final exploitation.

In a separate cyber fraud case, Delhi Police busted an online job scam linked to Chinese nationals. How was the illicit money primarily transferred out of India?
Converted to USD Tether (USDT) and sent via decentralized exchange walletsThe accused in this job fraud racket received money into mule bank accounts and then converted it into USD Tether (USDT), a stablecoin cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. They used decentralized exchange wallets to transfer these funds to handlers based in China, making tracking difficult for authorities. This method bypasses traditional banking oversight and leverages blockchain anonymity. The operation involved at least `2.60 crore across 26 reported complaints. One of the arrested individuals admitted to maintaining contact with a Chinese national for about a year to coordinate these transfers.

According to a recent circular by the Delhi Government, what is the applicable stamp duty rate on the issuance of shares by companies registered in Delhi?
0.1 per cent of the share valueThe Delhi revenue department clarified that under Article 19 of Schedule IA of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899—as amended for the NCT of Delhi—companies with registered offices in Delhi must pay a stamp duty of 0.1% on the value of shares issued. This applies to both physical and DEMAT (digital) forms. The department has directed depositories like NSDL and CDSL not to collect stamp duty at the lower central rate of 0.005%, as they lack authorization from the Delhi Government. Non-compliance may attract penalties and interest, and the duty is a significant source of state revenue.
