Gujarat CID arrests Assam man accused of masterminding Rs 1,071.5 crore cyber fraud
Gujarat CID detained a 25-year-old from Assam alleged to have led over a thousand cyber-fraud cases costing about Rs 1,071.5 crore, with links to China-based criminals.
Gujarat’s Criminal Investigation Department has taken into custody a 25-year-old individual from Assam, whom officials allege coordinated a massive cyber-fraud operation comprising 1,090 separate cases. The scheme is reported to have siphoned approximately Rs 1,071.5 crore from victims throughout India. Investigators claim the perpetrator maintained connections with a criminal group based in China, suggesting an international dimension to the fraud.
The operation reportedly affected numerous states, prompting a joint response by regional police forces. This arrest represents a key step in the broader crackdown on transnational cyber-crime networks. Authorities intend to continue probing the full extent of the financial damage and the network’s reach.
Why it matters
The arrest targets a large-scale cyber-fraud network that has drained billions of rupees from Indian victims.
