Gujarat Police dismantled a cyber fraud network worth more than Rs 802 crore across 22 states under Operation Mule Hunt 2.0, arresting 55 people over the past month.
The Cyber Centre of Excellence within CID Crime traced mule bank accounts used to launder proceeds from online scams. Verification through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal linked suspects to 1,117 complaints nationwide.
Investigators said organized syndicates recruited individuals to open accounts or surrender existing ones for routing illicit transfers. The operation represents one of India’s largest coordinated crackdowns on cyber-enabled financial crime in 2026.
Authorities are analyzing data from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, banking records and digital evidence to map additional accounts.
