The CBI raided 11 places in Delhi and Haryana in a two-year-old case of crypto fraud. Officers took cash, gold, and digital evidence from the sites.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) carried out raids at 11 locations in Delhi and Haryana on Saturday as part of a long probe into a crypto fraud case that has lasted two years, where criminals pretended to be government officials to trick people into sending cryptocurrency.
During the searches, officers found cash worth 1.08 crore rupees, about $1,000 in foreign money, and 252 grams of gold. They also seized six laptops, eight mobile phones, and one iPad, which hold important digital evidence.
A report by Times of India says the fraudsters also tricked people abroad with fake technical support.
A CBI spokesperson said:
We found clear evidence that these criminals used special computer programs to make fake calls and fool people into sending cryptocurrency. These raids are a big step toward stopping the fraud and getting back the lost money.
The case is still under investigation as the CBI studies the digital evidence to understand how the fraud happened, find more criminals, and bring the fraudsters to justice.
