Police Arrest Multiple Suspects in Separate Cyber Fraud Operations in Jharkhand and Haryana

Police in Jharkhand and Haryana have arrested nine individuals in separate operations targeting organized cyber fraud gangs. The Jharkhand arrests involved a group accused of impersonating bank and electricity officials to steal money via digital payment platforms, with seized devices undergoing forensic analysis. In Haryana, four suspects were detained for running a multi-state racket that defrauded victims by posing as institutional officials and inducing fund transfers. Investigations in both cases continue to identify further links and victims.
