Mohammad Javed, co-owner of 'Saleem Javed Rule the Rolls' in Khan Market, New Delhi, was arrested as part of a police investigation into cyber fraud. The eatery's bank account was allegedly used to launder over ₹3.3 crore linked to digital arrest scams. The police found that the account had processed funds from at least 21 complaints. Facing financial losses, Javed and his brother, Mohammad Saleem, reportedly agreed to share their account details with fraudsters in exchange for a 2-3% commission. Investigators traced the fraudulent transactions back to a network led by a man named Harvinder Kohli, who connected them with intermediaries involved in the illicit business of renting mule accounts. Digital evidence, including mobile phones and SIM cards, has been seized, and further investigations are underway to identify additional victims and connections to similar cases across India. Navneet Kalra, the current owner of the Khan Chacha restaurant, clarified that the brothers have no association with the establishment since they left over a decade ago.
