Srinagar: A high-tech international cyber fraud racket has been uncovered in Srinagar, leading to the arrest of seven accused individuals. The network was involved in carrying out online scams targeting both foreign and local victims.
Investigative agencies had received prior technical and credible intelligence inputs, based on which the Cyber Investigation Unit (CIK) constituted a special task team. The team gathered digital intelligence and identified the primary operational hub located in the Rangreth Industrial Area. Subsequently, coordinated raids were conducted across multiple locations in the city.
During the operations, authorities seized 13 mobile phones, 9 laptops, VoIP systems, SIM cards, network devices, and digital storage media. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused were part of a large, organized cybercrime syndicate with operations extending across Jammu and Kashmir as well as international locations.
