    "summary": "केंद्र सरकार की जांच एजेंसी CBI ने 20 राज्यों में साइबर ठगों के खिलाफ 89 स्थानों पर छापामार कार्रवाई की और तीन आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार किया। जांच में लगभग 42 करोड़ रुपये के डिजिटल गिरफ्तारी नकली जालसाजी का पता चला है, जिसमें आरोपियों ने पीड़ितों को पुलिस अधिकारी बताकर बड़े पैमाने पर पैसे ठगे। CBI ने बैंकिंग दस्तावेज, मोबाइल और डिजिटल उपकरण जब्त कर पूरे नेटवर्क के अन्य सदस्यों की तलाश शुरू कर दी है।",
    "articleBody": "The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted raids at 89 locations across 20 states against cybercriminals who defrauded people of crores of rupees in the name of digital arrest. Three accused have been arrested in this operation. The investigation revealed a total fraud amount exceeding Rs 42 crore.\n\nMethod of Fraud and Investigation\n\nAccording to the CBI, in digital arrest cases, cybercriminals pose as police or government officials to intimidate victims. They then claim to hold the victims digitally in custody via video calls or phone calls and, in the name of investigation, get large sums transferred into their accounts. The investigation agency identified the accused's locations by scrutinizing bank accounts, online accounts, and technical details of money transactions.\n\nThe CBI has seized important evidence including banking documents, mobile phones, and digital devices. The agency is now working to find out which accounts received the defrauded money and who all are behind this entire network.\n\nThree Major Cases and Roles of Arrested Accused\n\nActions were taken in three major cases. About Rs 1.95 crore was defrauded into the account of Akash, a resident of Haryana, who immediately transferred it to other accounts after opening the account himself. About Rs 1.5 crore was transferred into the account of Raja Karmakar’s firm in Kolkata. The third accused, Jyoti Rani, also had a share of the defrauded amount in her account, from which she withdrew some cash and transferred the rest to other accounts.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nसीबीआई ने 20 राज्यों में 89 ठिकानों पर छापेमारी कर तीन आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार किया\nCBI ने डिजिटल अरेस्ट गैंग के तीन आरोपियों को किया गिरफ्तार\nAlert for Heavy Rain and Storm Across the Country on September 4\nAdani Group's Business Growing Even in Non-BJP Ruled States\n\nIn a case related to BITS Pilani, the victim was kept under digital arrest for about three months and was defrauded of approximately Rs 7.67 crore by someone posing as a police officer. In a Karnataka case, the victim was kept under digital arrest for about a month and Rs 15.45 crore was defrauded from him.\n\nCBI Action and Further Investigation\n\nThe CBI conducted simultaneous raids across the country under Operation Chakra-VI. The investigation agency is now searching for other accused connected to this entire network.\n\nTaking digital arrest cases seriously, the Supreme Court has also directed the CBI to take coordinated action against such criminals and their networks.\n\nInterrogation during the search revealed their special and important role in receiving the defrauded money, circulating it through multiple accounts, and forwarding it further\nBina Yadav, Spokesperson",
