Investigators also identified multiple online groups and channels where the accused were active participants involved in circulating and exchanging illegal material. Preliminary findings revealed that the content was allegedly being sold to individuals in Oman, Bangladesh and the UAE.
The CID stated that the operation was part of Jharkhand police’s intensified efforts to combat cybercrimes against children and dismantle digital exploitation networks operating across borders.
