CBI Takes Action Against Cyber Crime Syndicate

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended three individuals linked to a cybercrime syndicate that defrauded foreign nationals of millions of rupees. This information was disclosed by officials on Friday.

According to the authorities, this gang primarily targeted American citizens, executing scams through calls and VOIP spoofing, amassing approximately three to four crore rupees.

A large-scale operation that commenced on Thursday and continued into Friday saw the agency conducting raids at seven locations in Pune and Mumbai.

During this extensive operation, the CBI seized over 150 grams of suspected narcotics, 27 mobile phones, and 17 laptops containing incriminating digital evidence, along with 1.60 lakh rupees in unidentified cash.

The arrested individuals, identified as Amit Dubey, Tarun Shenai, and Gonsalves Savio, were presented before a special CBI court in Mumbai, which remanded them into the agency's custody until July 30.
