In a major crackdown on cyber-enabled fraud, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted coordinated raids across eight Indian states, arresting five individuals linked to the illegal distribution of SIM cards. These SIMs were allegedly used in a wide array of digital scams, including impersonation, fraudulent investment schemes, and the rapidly proliferating "digital arrest" scam. The operation, named Chakra V, forms part of the agency’s broader initiative to stem the tide of cybercrime in India.
