Recent arrests of a few dozen criminals have led to the discovery of 28,000 cyber crime cases across the country..

Often, cops from as far as Kerala reach Nuh to arrest scammers.APNuh has well and truly arrived as a national cybercrime hub, now second only to the original cybercrime hub of Jamtara in Jharkhand...

The non-descript area of Mewat, especially the Nuh district, has existed as a timewarp in close proximity to one of the most developed araes of India, the National Capital Region..

In 2022, the police had to block five lakh SIM cards in Nuh and surrounding areas for cyber crime complaints..

When the police zeroed in on Nuh, it realised it is not dealing with a few criminals but a large horde who were running their cyber crime operations at an industrial scale..
