Ahmedabad, June 12 — In a significant crackdown on cybercrime, the Gujarat Police have dismantled a massive Rs 632 crore cyber mule network, arresting 13 individuals from Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, and Rajkot. The operation, spearheaded by the Cyber Crime Police Station (CCPS) in Ahmedabad, was conducted over the past week following intelligence inputs that pointed to a sophisticated racket involving money laundering through digital fraud.
The arrested suspects, aged between 22 and 45, are accused of operating as "cyber mules," a term used for individuals who facilitate fraudulent transactions by providing their bank accounts, SIM cards, and identity documents to cybercriminals. Police sources revealed that the network was involved in multiple financial frauds, including online scams, phishing, and illegal fund transfers. The accused allegedly laundered money across multiple accounts, making it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace the origin of the funds.
