Ahmedabad: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday announced that it has arrested three persons in connection with the ongoing investigation into the Digital Asset fraud. One accused was arrested from Kerala, while the other two were arrested from Gujarat.

The arrests were made following the recovery of critical digital and documentary evidence establishing their active role in the conspiracy. The accused were found to be directly involved in providing domestic facilitation support, including financial channels, to the perpetrators operating from other locations, including foreign countries.

The arrested individuals were produced before the competent local courts in Kerala and Gujarat. After obtaining transit warrants, they were brought to Delhi and produced before the CBI Court.

The arrests follow extensive nationwide searches conducted by the CBI at around 40 locations across Delhi‑NCR, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Kerala, and West Bengal last week. Those searches uncovered important evidence, such as digital devices, KYC documents, SIM cards, and communication records, which showed that there was a well-organized group in the country helping a network of cybercriminals based abroad, according to the national law enforcement agency.
