In a significant crackdown on digital crime, the Cyber Economic and Narcotics (CEN) police in Karnataka have successfully dismantled an interstate cyber fraud racket. The operation led to the arrest of two individuals allegedly involved in the sophisticated scam.
Major Haul from the Accused
The police team conducted a raid and seized substantial evidence from the possession of the accused. The recovered items include 10 mobile phones with an estimated value of Rs 97,000 and four laptops worth approximately Rs 68,000. Furthermore, the authorities confiscated a significant amount of cash, totaling Rs 4.5 lakh, believed to be the proceeds of their illegal activities.
A Blow to Organized Cybercrime
This bust represents a crucial victory for law enforcement against the rising tide of organized cybercrime operating across state lines. The CEN police's operation underscores their commitment to tracking and neutralizing such networks that exploit digital platforms to defraud citizens. Investigations are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the racket's operations and identify any other individuals involved.
The arrests were officially confirmed on November 30, 2025. This case serves as a stark reminder for the public to remain vigilant against unsolicited online offers and communication to avoid falling victim to similar cyber fraud schemes.
