Maharashtra cyber police have filed a 2,500-page charge-sheet in a ₹58 crore 'digital arrest' scam, naming 32 arrested and 41 wanted individuals. The investigation revealed over 10,000 mule bank accounts, linked to China, Indonesia, and Hong Kong, were used to route funds abroad, including via cryptocurrency. The scam targeted a 72-year-old Mumbai resident by impersonating law enforcement and TRAI officials, coercing him into a fake 'digital arrest' to prevent asset seizure.
