CBI uncovers a sprawling cyber fraud network, linking Indian victims to trafficked call-centre workers in Myanmar and masterminds in Hong Kong, Cambodia, and China. 13 arrested as probe into “Digital Arrest” scams deepens.
The Supreme Court has directed the CBI to conduct a nationwide investigation into the growing digital arrest scam, urging opposition-led states to permit the probe. The court also instructed tech intermediaries to fully cooperate and asked the CBI to seek Interpol’s help in tracing global cybercriminal networks.
The CBI carried out a search operation on Tuesday at around 40 locations across Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Kerala, and West Bengal.
