As part of a large-scale crackdown on cyber fraud networks under Operation Cy-Hunt 2.0, 24 persons have been arrested in Kannur city police limits.
The nationwide operation targets individuals who provide their bank accounts for cyber fraud, as well as those who withdraw money obtained through these scams using checks and through ATMs.
The operation was launched after the state police’s cyber operations department scrutinized data from the National Cyber Crime Reporting portal and identified accounts operated from Kerala that were linked to cyber fraud activities.
The operation was carried out on the instructions of District Superintendent of Police (Kannur City) P. Nidhinraj.
