Bhubaneswar, Nov. 19 -- Jharsuguda Police on Tuesday busted a major inter-state cyber fraud racket and arrested 12 members of the gang, including two minors. The arrests came after a focused operation launched to dismantle organised digital fraud networks active in the region.

During the crackdown, police seized more than 61 bank passbooks from different banks, 41 ATM cards, 90 mobile phones and a car believed to have been used in the fraud operations.

According to the police, the cybercrime network had deep connections extending from Jharsuguda to Jamtara in Jharkhand, as well as parts of Bihar and Rajasthan. These states are known hotspots for cybercriminal clusters, further complicating the investigation.
