In a significant development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has dismantled a major cybercrime module engaged in defrauding citizens of foreign nations, including the USA, through fake call centers. The operation involved searches at 24 locations spanning Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, and Gujarat, resulting in the seizure of Rs 2.2 crore in cash, along with a substantial collection of digital evidence, property-related documents, and cryptocurrency.
The cybercrime network, allegedly orchestrated by Sushil Sachdeva and associates, was specifically targeting unsuspecting foreigners using deceptive schemes like tech support. The group had conducted an extensive volume of fraudulent calls through call centers to perpetrate their scams. The CBI's intervention is part of an ongoing investigation, with several cybercriminals already booked in connection with the illicit activities.
