Motihari (East Champaran)/ Bihar: In a decisive move against cybercriminals, the Cyber Police Station of East Champaran district arrested four members of a cyber-fraud gang who had been duping people through online scams.

Citizens are urged to remain alert, avoid sharing personal details with strangers, and immediately report suspicious activities to the cyber helpline 1930 or through www.cybercrime.gov.in (http://www.cybercrime.gov.in).
