The American investigation agency FBI has busted a big network of cyber fraud in Rajasthan. Rajasthan Intelligence and Police found the fraudsters as per the information from the FBI. These cyber fraudsters were making American citizens victims of online fraud while sitting in Rajasthan.

According to the information, after the case of fraud of crores of rupees with American citizens came to light, the American agency FBI started investigating it. The investigation revealed that the fraudsters were carrying out this while sitting in Rajasthan, India.
