Rajasthan police have busted an interstate extortion and digital arrest syndicate, arresting six suspects, four of whom are women.
The Rajasthan police announced today that a coordinated operation dismantled an interstate extortion and digital‑arrest network. The raid, carried out by the state’s crime branch, resulted in the seizure of electronic devices and documents that police say link the group to cross‑border extortion schemes.
According to a police statement, the gang allegedly used online platforms to threaten individuals and demand money, while also orchestrating unlawful digital arrests to intimidate victims. Investigators highlighted that the group operated across state lines, exploiting jurisdictional gaps to evade detection.
Six individuals were taken into custody during the operation, and officials confirmed that four of the arrested are women. The suspects are being interrogated, and further details will be disclosed as the investigation progresses.
The police have urged the public to report any similar extortion attempts and assured that swift action will be taken against those involved in such cyber‑crimes.
