CJP’s Parliament march loses its script at Jantar Mantar, splinters into scattered protests
Student groups and Opposition workers formed a sizeable crowd, but the promised procession towards Parliament never emerged as one organised march.
Police in Southwest Delhi have arrested 42 individuals as part of a special drive against cybercrime for their alleged involvement in multiple interstate fraud schemes that reportedly cheated victims of over ₹254 crore, an official said on Saturday.
The arrests were made during Operation CyHawk, under which 23 FIRs were registered and the accused were linked to 377 complaints filed on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP).

Police said the crackdown targeted networks involved in ATM frauds, ‘digital arrest’ scams, job frauds, digital marketing scams, USDT-based money laundering, cheque-withdrawal syndicates, and large mule-account operations spread across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.
A technical analysis of mule accounts by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) uncovered suspicious activity in four private bank accounts in Kishangarh. These accounts were linked to fraud cases in Kolkata and Mumbai, prompting the registration of a new case.
During the investigation, Asgar Ali (23) and Ankit Singh (26), both alleged mule-account suppliers, were arrested. Interrogation of the duo led police to the alleged mastermind, Ravi Kumar Singh (31), who was apprehended after a seven-day pursuit across Noida, Delhi and Ghaziabad.
Police said Ravi allegedly ran fraudulent call centres in Noida and Kotla Mubarakpur, luring victims with fake job advertisements for private airlines. He is also accused of routing scam proceeds through mule accounts with the help of his associate, Ravi Mishra.
Three more suspects — Rajan Singh Negi (32), Kamlesh Pal (35) and a 24-year-old woman — were arrested from an active call centre operating in Kotla Mubarakpur. Authorities seized ten keypad phones, five smartphones, two laptops, one computer system and a register documenting fraudulent transactions.
