CBI Files Chargesheet Against 13 in ‘Digital Arrest’ Fraud Probe Under Operation Chakra‑V

Investigators say the scheme is driven from Myanmar‑area cyber‑slavery hubs with funds routed by masterminds in Cambodia, Hong Kong and China.

Overview

  • The case, registered suo motu to examine ten major incidents, led to a chargesheet filed within 60 days under the IPC and IT Act.
  • CBI analysis of more than 15,000 IP addresses mapped extensive cross‑border infrastructure tied to the fraud networks.
  • October searches across Delhi‑NCR, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Kerala and West Bengal yielded devices, communication logs and financial records.
  • Three suspects identified through the technical and financial trail were arrested and remain in judicial custody.
  • Further investigation is underway to track additional conspirators, money‑mule handlers and overseas infrastructure linked to the operations.
