The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Neeraj, a key operative of a cybercrime gang dismantled in July, according to officials on Monday.
Neeraj played a crucial role in opening a mule account under the name of Sudhir Palande, funneling Rs 3.81 crore siphoned from various cybercrime victims in a single day. This money was subsequently dispersed into various accounts the same day.
The CBI's arrest of Neeraj marks a significant step in strengthening the case and gathering new information that could lead to further apprehensions. Authorities used technical surveillance and local intelligence to locate Neeraj, who was evading arrest. A special court in Mumbai has placed him in CBI custody for interrogation.
