UP Police complete Operation Cy-Vajra busting over ₹1,158cr cyber fraud
UP Police just wrapped up a huge week-long crackdown called Operation Cy-Vajra, taking down a cyber fraud network worth over ₹1,158 crore.
Led by DGP Rajeev Krishna and ordered by CM Yogi Adityanath, the operation targeted everything from shady bank accounts to illegal call centers and SIM card vendors.
Police shift to breaking scam networks
During the operation, police arrested 773 people linked to 7,989 complaints on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal.
They didn't just stop at arrests: action was taken against 3,866 mule bank accounts, 17 illegal call centers shut down, and loads of devices and cash were seized.
The team even found gaming clusters suspected of being used for illegal transactions.
This marks a big shift for UP Police: they're now breaking entire scam networks instead of just catching individuals.
