Lucknow Police Bust Two Cybercrime Networks Involving Fraud and Fake Call CentrePreviousNext

Lucknow Police recently dismantled two cybercrime operations targeting victims through fraudulent schemes. One network recruited youths to control their bank accounts for laundering cyber fraud proceeds, converting funds into cryptocurrency, leading to three arrests and freezing of nearly ₹5 lakh. Separately, a fake international call centre in Cyber Heights was raided, arresting four key operators and seizing cash, laptops, and phones. Both crackdowns are part of ongoing efforts under Operation CYVAJRA to combat sophisticated cyber frauds linked to overseas operators.
