The Haryana police launched a significant campaign to combat online fraud and offensive content, removing over 1,600 links and taking action against 125 fake trading apps in coordination with the central government.
In response to the increasing presence of misleading and offensive content on digital platforms, Haryana police initiated a comprehensive campaign that lasted an entire month.
