Gujarat Police have arrested 25-year-old Rafiqool Alam of Assam’s Barpeta district, describing him as a major money handler in an investigation that spans 1,090 cybercrime cases and ₹10,71,55,66,034 in suspected flows. Investigators allege he helped move funds from digital arrest scams by routing money through Indian mule accounts, splitting transfers to avoid detection, and converting remaining amounts into cryptocurrency before sending it to a Chinese criminal network. Police said his phone contained 23 crypto wallets with about ₹16 crore in traceable transactions, and they also linked him to the Chip Seller app and online gaming accounts used as payment channels. The case grew out of a digital arrest probe involving forged Maharashtra Police and Supreme Court of India documents, and officers say the wider operation led them to stop several victims from making payments in Ahmedabad, Surat, Jamnagar, Raipur, Sundargarh, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar. The arrest adds to a broader pattern Indian authorities have highlighted, in which scam proceeds are laundered into crypto and moved offshore toward China and Hong Kong.
