The Mumbai police have submitted their first charge sheet in the mobile loan app case that involved harassment of citizens by recovery agents of unscrupulous digital lenders. City cybercops arrested 18 people from different states between June and August, weeks after mid-day exposed the scam. Ten more accused wanted in the case are mostly Chinese nationals. 

Cybercops said the 3,000-page charge sheet was submitted on Monday and the court is yet to take cognisance of it. It says the police have frozen at least 110 bank accounts containing Rs 13.84 crore and 238 crypto wallets with a balance of R2.6 crore. Citing the probe, it says the fraudsters used layers of UPI accounts to route the money extracted through the scam and finally diverted them to foreign crypto wallets, which have Chinese links.
