Deoghar: In a proactive crackdown on cybercrime, the Deoghar Police, aided by the Prakharpan App, intensified its efforts over the weekend, conducting raids in various police station areas. Twelve individuals were apprehended on charges of cybercrime and subsequently sent to jail. The raids targeted locations in Sarath, Pathradda, Pathrol, Karaun, and Khaga police station areas.
During the operations, law enforcement recovered a substantial haul of evidence, including 25 mobile phones, 39 SIM cards, eight ATM cards, and two passbooks from the arrested suspects. Following a meticulous investigation by the Cyber Cell technical team, connections to 54 cybercrimes across the country were established.
