The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recently launched Operation Chakra-VI to crack down on which cybercrimes?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Digital arrest fraud. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) launched Operation Chakra-VI on 25 June 2026 to dismantle digital arrest fraud networks across India. Operation Chakra-VI covered more than 80 locations in 16 states and involved 60 special investigation teams. Digital arrest fraud involves criminals impersonating police, court, or government officials to extort money through calls, messages, or video communication. Shell companies and mule bank accounts were allegedly used to launder about ₹2 crore of suspected proceeds from digital arrest fraud. The investigation uncovered a fake website resembling the official website of the Supreme Court of India, leading to an FIR based on a complaint from its Registry. Cybercrime investigations in India are conducted under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, where applicable. Mule bank accounts are commonly used in money laundering and online scams to receive and transfer illegally obtained funds.
