The cyber crime wing of the Cyberabad Police arrested 10 people in connection with seven cybercrime cases detected between August 5 and 11, exposing a network of offenders operating across multiple States.
Officials said that of the total arrests, seven were linked to trading fraud, which accounted for five of the cases investigated during the week. The remaining cases involved a smishing and business fraud, leading to two and one arrests respectively.
During the crackdown, police seized 15 mobile phones, 14 SIM cards, seven debit cards, a cheque book, a PAN card and two proprietorship stamps. In a parallel effort to return stolen funds, the officials secured 115 court-approved refund orders in 20 cases, enabling the recovery of over ₹60.33 lakh for victims.
The police have urged citizens to remain vigilant against online investment and trading scams promising unusually high returns, to verify the authenticity of financial transactions, and to be cautious when sharing personal information such as Aadhaar numbers, bank details, or one-time passwords.
They also warned against clicking links from unknown sources on messaging apps or email and advised the public to report suspicious numbers or communications immediately to the national cybercrime helpline 1930 or through the government’s cybercrime portal.
