Indian law enforcement has recently made significant strides against cybercrime, with multiple arrests and the dismantling of various criminal networks. The Jamtara cyber gang, known as 'DK Boss,' was implicated in defrauding individuals of ₹11 crore using ChatGPT technology. In another operation, the Tirupati Police apprehended a gang involved in a 'digital arrest' scheme, recovering cash and gold ornaments valued at approximately ₹95 lakh. The Ajmer Police also arrested four individuals who provided bank accounts to cyber fraudsters, facilitating scams worth ₹25-30 lakh. Additionally, Hyderabad Police dismantled a pan-India cyber fraud network, arresting 52 suspects, including employees from three private banks. They also apprehended two individuals from Gujarat for conning a Hyderabad-based doctor out of ₹3 crore by impersonating government officials. These actions reflect a concerted effort by Indian authorities to combat the rising tide of cybercrime across the country.
