The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted coordinated raids at 89 locations across 20 states under Operation Chakra-VI, targeting digital arrest syndicates involved in cybercrimes where victims were coerced into transferring large sums of money. Three individuals were arrested in connection with three major cases involving victims held under digital arrest for one to three months and defrauded of over Rs 42 crore collectively. The CBI seized banking documents and digital evidence to trace the fraud proceeds and dismantle the networks, following directives from the Supreme Court of India.
