Baghpat cyber police arrested eight people on October 1 in an investigation into alleged impersonation of insurance-company officials. Superintendent Suraj Kumar Rai described the operation to The Times of India; Tejas News and Indraprastha News also reported the police disclosure. The arrests are investigative action, not findings that the allegations have been proved.
Police say callers offered renewal of lapsed policies, bonuses or other benefits and then demanded payments described as fees, processing charges and taxes. Investigators linked fifty-one complaints and approximately one crore twenty lakh rupees to the alleged network. Those figures are police estimates of connected complaints and losses, not court-established totals.
The superintendent said suspects had been operating from homes or remote locations around Noida. Local accounts reported recovery of phones, bank cards and other property. Reports differed on the number of states involved, so no precise state total is given here. The checked accounts contained no substantive defence response. Investigators still have to establish each arrested person’s role and the evidence connecting individual payments to the alleged scheme.
