The Crime Detection Branch (CDB), Cell-4, has exposed an international cyber fraud racket that duped citizens across India of over Rs 200 crore, using matrimonial websites and social media platforms as bait. Seven people have been arrested in connection with the case.

The gang allegedly contacted victims through matrimonial portals and social networking sites, gradually gaining their trust before luring them into bogus online forex and gold-trading schemes, promising unusually high returns.
