El CBI detiene a un acusado clave en un caso de ciberfraude transnacional

La Oficina Central de Investigaciones (CBI) ha detenido a Lakhan Jaiprakash Jagwani en relación con una trama de ciberfraude que tuvo como objetivo a ciudadanos estadounidenses y obtuvo 8,5 millones de dólares. El caso involucra centros de llamadas ilegales que operaban desde 2022.

La agencia registró el caso el 9 de diciembre de 2025. Los investigadores alegan que la organización operaba centros de llamadas ilegales en Delhi, Noida (Uttar Pradesh) y otros lugares de la India. El personal se hacía pasar por funcionarios de la Administración para el Control de Drogas (DEA), el Buró Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) y la Administración del Seguro Social.

El fraude se basaba en llamadas, correos electrónicos y líneas VoIP utilizando identidades falsas. Las víctimas en Estados Unidos perdieron un total de 8,5 millones de dólares.

Operaciones anteriores del CBI llevaron al cierre de un centro de llamadas en Noida, donde los funcionarios recuperaron 1,88 millones de rupias en efectivo. La detención de Jagwani supone un paso más en la investigación en curso.
