Indian Police Busts Thailand-Based Cybercrime Ring
Some people from Thailand were pretending to be police to trick people into giving them money.
They used special devices to make it look like they were calling from India.
They told people they were going to be 'digitally arrested' if they didn't pay.
Two people in Mumbai helped them, but the police caught them.
The police found devices that make fake calls, phones, a lot of SIM cards used to trick people, and foreign money.
Madhya Pradesh police arrested two individuals in Mumbai connected to a Thailand-based cyber fraud ring.
The suspects allegedly defrauded a woman of Rs 14 lakh using a 'digital arrest' scam.
Scammers used VoIP calls, impersonating police or CBI officers to threaten victims.
Police seized SIM boxes, SIM cards, phones, laptops, and foreign currency during the raid.
The investigation involves the State Cyber Cell and federal agencies to track down overseas gang members.
