The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau launched a six week campaign, ‘Fraud ka full stop’, to raise awareness on digital frauds across the State. Officials said cybercrimes had increased sharply in recent years, though Telangana is now seeing a slight decline in cases.
Shikha Goel, Director of TGSCB, stated that the suspects were involved in multiple frauds, including business investment scams, job frauds, digital arrest scams, and courier scams. Those arrested include 38 mule account holders and 10 agents who recruited them to open bank accounts and facilitate cyber frauds in exchange for commissions.
