Giridih police recently carried out a successful raid in Nawadih, under the Bagodar police station area, which resulted in the arrest of four cybercriminals. This was a major victory for Jharkhand police. The criminals were engaged in a scheme that targeted girls, defrauding them of money through video calls and sextortion.
The police found a lot of evidence during the raid, including two Aadhar cards, two PAN cards, five passbooks, twenty-one laptops, sixty-five SIM cards, nine ATM cards, and one bike. This demonstrates the scope of the illegal activity that was harming innocent individuals.
The people who were arrested had been using technology to commit their crimes. After forcing girls to make video calls, they would threaten and extort money from them using the recordings. The Jharkhand police, particularly the Giridih police, moved quickly to capture these offenders and stop their illegal activities.
The operation was significant, as Giridih Police Inspector Alok Kumar noted, adding, “This is a major step in our fight against cybercrime in Jharkhand.” We would like to reassure the public that we are dedicated to protecting them against these kinds of online dangers.”
Charges pertaining to cybercrime, extortion, and invasion of privacy have been brought against the detained suspects. The Jharkhand police are also looking into the possibility that these offenders were part of larger networks or engaged in other illegal activities.
This incident highlights the importance of internet safety awareness and the need for people to report any suspicious activity to the Jharkhand police. To aid in the effort to stop these kinds of activities and safeguard potential victims, the Giridih police are asking the public to be watchful and report cybercrimes as soon as they happen.
Giridih police are collaborating with cybercrime specialists to learn more about the techniques employed by the people who were detained as the investigation progresses. The Jharkhand police’s determination to protect the community’s safety and well-being online is evident in their crackdown on this sextortion ring.
