Current Summary

Acting on a tip-off, the STF Cyber Crime Police Station, along with the Department of Telecommunications, raided the rented commercial space and arrested Naimuddin, a resident of Moradabad district in Uttar Pradesh, who police say was managing the operation. Investigators found Linux-based virtual machines, FreePBX login panels, remote access software and Secure Shell clients at the site, along with WhatsApp Web logs showing communications about acquiring SIP trunks, custom telecom cables and high-bandwidth internet equipment.
