Overview
- The CBI arrested Himanshu Prasad and Unis Biswas in Gujarat after coordinated searches at 22 locations across 10 states on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
- Investigators say the men were linked to a scheme that kept a victim under 'digital arrest' for about three months and coerced transfers totalling ₹11.42 crore.
- The agency alleges ₹2.5 crore of the stolen money was routed through the corporate account of M/s Hexaquest Global Pvt. Ltd. and then moved to multiple associates to hide the trail.
- Searches produced banking documents, account records, mobile devices, APK files and incriminating chats that are now under forensic analysis to identify other network members.
- The arrests form part of Operation Chakra, a wider CBI offensive ordered by the Supreme Court that has conducted searches at 142 locations in 22 states and led to multiple arrests while warning the public not to share OTPs or transfer money to callers claiming to detain them.
