So, like, the CBI has been on a roll lately, you know? Before they went all out with Operation Hawk, they were already on a mission with Operation Carbon in 2021 and Operation Megh Chakra in 2022. And let me tell you, they weren’t messing around. They were all about tackling online child sexual exploitation cases with international connections.
Now, fast forward to the present day. The CBI, inspired by the US’s Operation Hawk, decided to kick things up a notch. They jumped into action real quick to take down cybercrime networks involved in online child sexual exploitation with ties all over the globe. The International Operations Division of CBI wasted no time and registered a case against this guy named Sheik Muizz Ahmed for some serious offenses under various sections of the law.
During March 2024, Sheikh Muizz Ahmed, a dude from Mangaluru, was caught red-handed operating under the username “heisenberg7343” on the social media platform ‘Discord.’ He was chatting it up with a young girl from the USA, getting her involved in some pretty inappropriate stuff. The accused even went as far as pressuring the girl to share explicit images and videos with him online. Not cool, man. The CBI didn’t waste a second and went on a search spree in Mumbai and Mangaluru, uncovering electronic devices full of disturbing content. Sheikh Muizz Ahmed was then taken into custody and put behind bars.
But wait, there’s more. Another case was filed against this other guy named Mukul Saini, who was also up to no good online. This Delhi resident was chatting with a minor girl from the US on platforms like ‘Discord’ and ‘Arisu,’ engaging in some seriously messed up conversations. The accused coerced the girl into sharing explicit content with him, threatening to expose her if she didn’t comply. The CBI did their thing, digging up incriminating evidence from various locations in Delhi linked to Mukul Saini.
And hey, let’s not forget about Operation Carbon and Operation Megh Chakra. These operations were all about responding rapidly to online child sexual exploitation cases with international ties. The CBI was on a mission to track down anyone involved in these despicable acts, no matter where they were hiding. They needed a united front from law enforcement agencies worldwide to combat this global epidemic.
So, as you can see, the CBI is not playing around when it comes to protecting children from online predators. They are on the front lines, taking down cybercriminals one by one. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. And the CBI is stepping up to the plate, making sure that justice is served. Keep up the good work, guys. The kids are counting on you.
