Janice K. Fedarcyk, the assistant director in charge of the New York FBI, said the cross-border law-enforcement operation is targeting "highly organized cyber criminals" and is designed to "root out criminal behavior on the Internet."





FBI Assistant Director in- Charge Janice K Fedarcyk said, "These arrests in India, Canada, and the United States as part of Operation Card Shop are just another example that cyber criminals will be stopped even if they cross borders. Operation Card Shop is an international operation aimed at sophisticated, highly organized cyber criminals involved in buying and selling stolen identities, exploited credit cards, counterfeit documents, and sophisticated hacking tools. The FBI and all our law enforcement partners, here and abroad, will continue to root out criminal behavior on the Internet."





The police have seized a computer, hard-disk, CPU, CDs and pen-drives from Kolbekar, which will be used as evidence against him.
