Overview

  • Raids targeted locations in Delhi, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Punjab, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh under Operation Chakra-V.
  • Three suspects were arrested for facilitating mule bank accounts that launder proceeds from digital arrest, impersonation and investment scams.
  • Investigators recovered mobile phones, bank account opening records, transaction logs and KYC documents during the searches.
  • This action follows late June operations that uncovered 850,000 mule accounts, led to case registration against 37 individuals and resulted in 10 earlier arrests.
  • The CBI’s campaign focuses on dismantling the financial, telecom and human infrastructures that sustain transnational cybercrime syndicates.
