Delhi Arrest: Ex-Banker Targeted Late NCP Leader’s Accounts
A former bank employee, Vivek Sabhrewal, was arrested in Delhi on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, for allegedly attempting to gain control of the late NCP leader Baba Siddique’s mobile phone number.
Sabhrewal’s motive, according to Delhi Police, was to access Siddique’s bank accounts and fraudulently withdraw funds.
The arrest followed a complaint filed by Siddique’s daughter after she received a suspicious email concerning her father’s mobile number. This email was sent to the mobile service provider.
Investigations revealed Sabhrewal’s involvement in creating forged documents and employing deceitful tactics.
He is currently facing charges of cheating, creating false documents, and forgery under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
This incident highlights the increasing vulnerability of individuals, even prominent public figures, to sophisticated cybercrimes. The case underscores the need for heightened vigilance and robust security measures to protect personal and financial data in the digital age.
