Digital arrest scams: CBI conducts searches across 16 states as part of ‘Operation Chakra-VI’
The Centra Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has conducted searches at 80 locations in 16 states to dismantle a network that ensnared hundreds of people in digital arrest scams using a URL similar to that of the Supreme Court website, officials said Thursday.
The agency deployed 60 specialised teams across 16 states stretching from Punjab and Gujarat in the west to Assam and Manipur in the northeast as part of ‘Operation Chakra-VI’ that dismantled the network allegedly linked to over 200 cases of cyber-enabled fraud.
