The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested six people involved in a large cybercrime gang that was cheating Japanese citizens. These arrests were made after searching 19 places in Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
The CBI arrested six people:
The gang ran fake call centres and pretended to be technical support staff from big companies like Microsoft. They told people in Japan that their computers had problems. Then, they asked them to pay money to fix these fake problems.
The CBI worked closely with the National Police Agency of Japan and Microsoft Corporation. This teamwork helped the CBI to find the criminals and understand how the scam worked. The crackdown happened under Operation Chakra-V, which is focused on stopping cybercrime.
The criminals used smart tricks, known as social engineering, to fool people. They also used fake websites and software to make their story seem real. This helped them cheat victims and take their money.
The CBI is still checking the evidence. They have already shut down two illegal call centres. Most arrests and searches could happen soon as the investigation continues.
