Delhi Police arrest two men for running faith-healing scam on Instagram
The Delhi Police have arrested two men for allegedly running a faith-healing scam on Instagram that cheated multiple people across India, following a complaint filed in Central Delhi. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Rohit Rajbir reported on June 20, 2026, that the accused, Ganesh and Mandeep, were taken into custody from a flat in Kharar in Punjab's Mohali district.
According to the police, the duo had been running the fraudulent network under the page name 'All Problem Solved' for the past two to three years. During interrogation, they admitted to cheating multiple people by pretending to be spiritual healers.
The suspects, both originally from Sri Ganganagar in Rajasthan, allegedly posed as aides of a fictitious faith healer named "Anwar Ali-Moulana ji". They targeted vulnerable individuals looking for solutions to love, family, and financial troubles. The accused enticed victims by sending fake videos of rituals and "hawans," demanding small sums initially before escalating their financial demands.
The police launched an investigation after a 22-year-old B.Tech graduate from Delhi filed a complaint. The victim, who was struggling to find a job, contacted the mobile number listed on the 'All Problem Solved' Instagram page in mid-April. She was convinced by a chat partner who claimed "Moulana ji" was a powerful healer who had solved her own problems.
The victim subsequently received a WhatsApp audio call from a man pretending to be the healer, who asked for a photograph of her palm and an initial payment of Rs 2,500. Within three days, the woman was swindled of Rs 2 lakh, exhausting her savings.
"The investigation revealed that the duo had been running the network for the past two to three years. During interrogation, they admitted to cheating multiple people across India," DCP Rohit Rajbir said.
Police recovered chat histories with nearly 2,000 individuals from Delhi, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. Investigators found that at least 30 people had transferred money to the accused.
