Operation Hawk 2025: CBI Cracks Down on Online Child Sexual Exploitation Networks

Operation Hawk 2025, launched by the CBI with international support, targeted online child sexual exploitation networks operating via platforms like Discord and Arisu.
The operation led to the arrest of two individuals—Sheik Muizz Ahmed and Mukul Saini—who coerced minors into sharing explicit content through intimidation and threats.
The success of this operation, following earlier initiatives like Operation Carbon and Operation Megh Chakra, emphasizes the significance of global cooperation and rapid response in addressing cyber-enabled child sexual abuse.
This marks a vital step towards protecting vulnerable minors from online exploitation.
