The matter came to light after a man lodged a complaint on February 13 that he was defrauded of Rs 95,000 by cyber fraudsters after he searched for the inquiry number of India Post.
Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered at cyber-crime, south Gurugram. The investigations led the police to Kanpur natives Nilofar and Abhishek Kumar Mishra, and Unnao resident Harshit Shukla who were arrested from Delhi on Thursday.
They revealed during interrogation that they had opened multiple bank accounts in Delhi after securing Aadhaar on a Delhi address.
They made these accounts available to cyber fraudsters and received Rs 5,000 commission for each.

Further investigation is underway, said Priyanshu Dewan, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime) Gurugram Police.
