The Mumbai Cyber Branch has achieved a significant breakthrough in a digital arrest cyber fraud case. Typically, in such cases, the police apprehend the gang member (beneficiary bank account holder) whose account was used to transfer the defrauded money from the victims. However, this time, the Mumbai North Cyber Police has gone a step further, uncovering and arresting additional key members of the gang involved in the operation.

These cybercriminals were responsible for converting stolen money into digital currency, specifically cryptocurrency, and transferring it to their gang leader based abroad. This marks the first instance where the cyber police have targeted the entire fraud network and made progress toward apprehending the operation’s kingpin.
