Spl.CP/EOW Message

Appeal is made to all citizens to remain vigilant and not to fall prey to fraudulent schemes and investments in half baked projects that promise quick and assured returns. Such offers are often too good to be true and ultimately result in loss of hard earned money.

Such scams not only wipe out individual savings but also trap victims in long battles. In many such cases, complainants sometimes ignoring available civil remedies resort to criminal proceedings. Unfortunately, this often leads to prolonged hardships, financial stress and no real justice.

Economic Offences Wing urges the citizens to act as informed investors. Before investing, please verify the authenticity of the project or scheme. Avoid cash dealings and always use formal banking channels. Be alert to new and evolving methods of economic fraud and seek professional advice before entering into large financial commitments. Invest wisely, stay aware, and help us to prevent economic crimes.

About Economic Offences Wing

Economic Offences Wing started functioning as a part of Crime Branch since 1994 from Qutub Institutional Area / PTS Malviya Nagar. The need for creating an independent EOW Unit arose because of the sudden spurt in white collar crimes perpetrated by highly committed criminals involving interstate/international ramifications. Involvement of skilled professionals and organized racketeers and the use of advanced technologies in committing white collar crimes required similar degree of skill and professionalism among investigators. EOW was carved out as an independent specialized Unit from the Crime Branch in the year 2014.

A separate Police Station for EOW was established and notified with the jurisdiction over whole of National Capital Territory of Delhi in year 2007. Since 2012, EOW has started functioning from PS Mandir Marg Complex in a new building with state of the art facilities.
