New Delhi: 

To combat cyber-enabled financial crimes under 'Operation Chakra V', the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted coordinated searches at 19 locations across Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, and arrested six key operatives, who were allegedly targeting Japanese nationals, a CBI spokesperson said on Thursday.

"The syndicate operated call centres designed to appear as legitimate customer service centres, through which victims were allegedly deceived into believing that their electronic devices were compromised. Under this pretext, victims were coerced into transferring funds into mule accounts," the probe agency said.

CBI had registered a regular case on the basis of credible intelligence indicating the existence of cybercrime syndicates defrauding foreign nationals, particularly Japanese citizens, by impersonating technical support personnel from reputed multinational corporations,” the CBI stated.

The CBI reiterates its unwavering commitment to tackling the dynamic and evolving threats posed by cybercrime. The Bureau continues to strengthen its strategic and operational capabilities in the domain of cybercrime detection, investigation, and prosecution in collaboration with domestic and international stakeholders, it added.
