Delhi Police have successfully dismantled two inter-state cyberfraud rackets involved in providing mule bank accounts for online scams. Known as the 'Cyhawk Operation,' this mission led to the arrest of nine suspects across different cities, including Jaipur, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad.

The rackets utilized sophisticated means, such as layered banking channels and social media platforms, to launder millions defrauded from unsuspecting victims across India. Devices including mobile phones and digital evidence were seized from the scene, police confirmed on Thursday.

The police highlighted these rackets' advanced techniques in dodging law enforcement, including shifting locations to evade arrest and employing encrypted communication methods. The victims of these crimes ranged from job seekers to cryptocurrency investors, adding to the widespread reach of these criminal networks.
