Enforcement Directorate Makes Sixth Arrest in Pan-India Digital Arrest Fraud Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Mukesh Kumar Pukhraj Jain, the sixth arrest in a pan-India cyber fraud and money laundering case involving transactions worth Rs 30,000 crore. Jain allegedly acted as an RTGS agent, facilitating bank credits into accounts linked to the cybercriminal network. The investigation began after a Goa-based woman was duped into transferring Rs 2.60 crore following a 'digital arrest' scam, where fraudsters impersonate officials to extort money. The ED found the stolen funds moved through 400 bank accounts and converted into foreign currency.
