Cyber Crime Crackdown: CBI Uncovers Massive Crypto Fraud

The CBI conducted raids in Delhi and Haryana, targeting cyber criminals impersonating government officials. The operation uncovered Rs 1.08 crore cash, implicating the accused in a crypto fraud scheme. The suspects offered fake tech support to dupe victims into transferring cryptocurrency, which was then laundered into cash.

In a major operation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided 11 locations across Delhi and Haryana, unearthing an alleged cybercrime network linked to fraudulent activities by those posing as government officials.

Officials said the operation, tied to a two-year-old case, took place at nine sites in Delhi and two in Hisar, Haryana. The accused were reportedly involved in crypto fraud and duping victims through fake tech support calls.

The CBI's raids led to the seizure of significant digital evidence, including laptops, mobile devices, and Rs 1.08 crore in cash. The seized items highlighted how the perpetrators utilized technology and cryptocurrency to facilitate their schemes.
