Surat: The Udhna police have arrested four more persons in the Rs 1,550 crore international cyberfraud case, taking the total number of arrests to 29. Police seized Rs 1.92 crore in cash and valuables worth Rs 2.60 crore. Investigators found that the proceeds of the cybercrime were converted into dollars and routed to Chinese cyberfraud syndicates through 164 mule bank accounts.

The newly arrested accused are Abdulrab Chamadiya (32), an Adajan-based import-export trader; Amit Choksi (45), a money-transfer businessman; and Chirag Sutariya and Pravin Gadhiya, both courier firm operators. Zone-2 DCP Kanan Desai said that Rs 90 lakh was transferred to Choksi’s father’s bank account, withdrawn in cash, and then converted into USDT before being sent back to Chamadiya. Raids led to the seizure of cash, gold and silver bars, diamonds, and four money-counting machines.

The cyberfraud racket was first uncovered on May 21, 2025, during a vehicle-checking drive when suspicious bank documents were found on a moped. Subsequent raids and analysis of banking records revealed details of 164 mule accounts linked to the massive fraud. DeshGujarat
