ED launches pan-India drive against cybercrimes
NEW DELHI: ED has launched a massive nationwide drive against cybercrimes through its offices in more than 28 cities. It has identified proceeds of crime (PoC) worth over Rs 28,000 crore and attached assets of more than Rs 8,500 crore in ongoing investigations.
Sources said all zonal offices have been roped in to investigate cybercrime cases where state police or other agencies have already registered FIRs for scheduled offences under PMLA. The special task force and two headquarters investigation units (HIUs) in Delhi have also been tasked with probing high-value cases. So far, ED has arrested at least 106 accused persons and suspects.
