Delhi Police Break Up Child Trafficking and Cybercrime Networks

德里警方破獲兒童販賣與網路犯罪網絡


Introduction

The Delhi Police have carried out two separate operations that led to the collapse of a child trafficking network and a cyber-financial crime ring.

德里警方執行了兩次獨立行動,導致一個兒童販賣網絡和一個網路金融犯罪集團被瓦解。

Main Body

The first operation targeted a child trafficking group that used Hira’s Multi Speciality Hospital in Rohini as a base. The group bought newborn babies from poor families in Rajasthan and Gujarat for between ₹1.5 lakh and ₹2 lakh, and then sold them to childless couples for ₹6 lakh to ₹9 lakh. Police emphasized that the hospital, managed by Dr. Viveki, was used to create fake medical records and hide the infants. Recently, officers rescued a 20-day-old boy and arrested Satish and Garima Jain, who had reportedly paid ₹8 lakh for the child. So far, thirteen people have been detained and six infants recovered, although it is believed that about thirty such deals took place over two years.

第一次行動針對一個將 Rohini 的 Hira’s Multi Speciality Hospital 作為基地的兒童販賣集團。該集團以 15 萬至 20 萬盧比不等的價格,從 Rajasthan 和 Gujarat 的貧困家庭購買新生兒,隨後再以 60 萬至 90 萬盧比的價格將他們賣給沒有子女的夫婦。警方強調,由 Dr. Viveki 管理的醫院被用來偽造醫療記錄並隱藏嬰兒。近日,警員救出一名 20 天大的男嬰,並逮捕了據報支付 80 萬盧比購買該名兒童的 Satish 與 Garima Jain。目前已有 13 人被拘留,並找回 6 名嬰兒,但據信在過去兩年內約有 30 起此類交易發生。

At the same time, law enforcement stopped a cybercrime network that provided 'mule accounts' and Point of Sale (POS) terminals. This group helped criminals hide illegal money earned from 'digital arrest' scams and fake investment schemes. To do this, they created fake companies using forged documents to open business bank accounts, which were then sent to Delhi. Account holders earned an eight percent commission, while middle-men received another two to four percent. During a raid in Paharganj, police found QR scanners and corporate stamps, which they assert link the group to fraud cases reported in Karnataka and Maharashtra.

與此同時,執法部門破獲了一個提供「人頭帳戶」和銷售點(POS)終端機的網路犯罪網絡。該集團協助罪犯隱藏從「數位逮捕」詐騙和虛假投資計劃中獲得的非法資金。為此,他們使用偽造文件創建假公司以開設企業銀行帳戶,隨後將其發送到德里。帳戶持有者可賺取 8% 的佣金,而中間人則獲取另外 2% 至 4%。在 Paharganj 的一次突擊搜查中,警方發現了 QR 掃描器和公司印章,警方聲稱這將該集團與 Karnataka 和 Maharashtra 報案的詐騙案聯繫起來。

Conclusion

Both operations resulted in several arrests and the seizure of illegal assets. Investigations are still ongoing to find more victims and accomplices.

這兩次行動均導致多人被捕並沒收了非法資產。調查目前仍在進行中,以尋找更多受害者與共犯。

⚡️ The 'Action-Result' Shift

At the A2 level, you likely say: "The police arrested people and they found money." This is correct, but it sounds like a list. To reach B2, you need to show how one action leads to another using Resultative Phrases.

Look at this sentence from the text:

"...two separate operations that led to the collapse of a child trafficking network..."

Instead of using "and then," the author uses "led to." This transforms a simple sequence of events into a cause-and-effect relationship. This is the 'secret sauce' of B2 fluency.

🚀 Level Up Your Verbs

Stop using 'happened' or 'did'. Try these 'bridge' verbs found in the article to connect ideas:

  • Resulted in \rightarrow (Example: The raid resulted in several arrests.)
  • Link (something) to \rightarrow (Example: The stamps link the group to fraud cases.)
  • Provided \rightarrow (Instead of 'gave', use this for professional services. Example: They provided mule accounts.)

🛠 The 'Passive' Power-Up

Notice how the text describes the money:

"...illegal money earned from digital arrest scams..."

An A2 student says: "Criminals earned illegal money from scams."

To sound B2, focus on the object (the money) rather than the person. By using the past participle (earned, recovered, detained), you make your English sound more objective and professional—exactly how news reports and business emails are written.
