Four more suspects were arrested in Ahmedabad in connection with a fake company, Chamunda Communication, allegedly used to launder cyber-fraud proceeds.
Police said Vishal Sureshbhai Dodiya registered the firm with fabricated documents and opened three bank accounts handed to a cybercrime syndicate. The accounts were tied to 253 complaints involving fraud exceeding Rs 161 crore across 22 states and union territories.
Shell companies with legitimate-sounding names remain a common tactic for layering stolen funds before withdrawal. Gujarat investigators have prioritized identifying corporate fronts linked to the wider Rs 802 crore network.
The arrests were announced as part of the continuing Operation Mule Hunt 2.0 initiative led by the state’s Cyber Centre of Excellence.
