CBI Raids 89 Locations Nationwide in 'Digital Arrest' Fraud Crackdown

The Central Bureau of Investigation conducted searches across 89 locations in 20 states as part of Operation Chakra-VI to dismantle syndicates involved in digital arrest scams.

The agency arrested three individuals, including Akash from Haryana and Raja Karmakar from Kolkata, who allegedly laundered ₹7.67 crore, ₹19.24 crore, and ₹15.45 crore in three separate cases.

Following a Supreme Court directive to combat these crimes, the CBI is forensically examining seized digital devices and banking documents to identify the wider financial infrastructure behind the syndicates.
