The Gujarat Cyber Crime Police have not only reimbursed ₹5.51 crore to victims of online scams but also uncovered a massive international fraud syndicate that siphoned off over ₹804 crore through cybercrime operations.
Crackdown On International Fraud Syndicate
According to officials, the cyber police busted a well-organized network spanning multiple countries, with operatives targeting unsuspecting victims through phishing, fraudulent investment schemes, and online job rackets. The syndicate was operating call centers and using fake websites, luring people with promises of high returns before siphoning off their money through complex money-laundering channels.
Investigators revealed that the group exploited both Indian and overseas banking systems, using mule accounts and cryptocurrency wallets to disguise illegal transactions. With support from central agencies and global law enforcement, Gujarat Police arrested several key suspects linked to the racket.

Victim Relief And Financial Recovery
In an encouraging move for victims, the Gujarat Police returned ₹5.51 crore recovered from frozen bank accounts back to those who had been duped. Officials stressed that proactive measures under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and constant monitoring of suspicious financial activity played a crucial role in intercepting fraudulent transactions before the money was siphoned abroad.
Cyber officials also urged citizens to remain vigilant, avoid sharing sensitive personal data online, and verify the legitimacy of job offers, investment schemes, and websites before making any financial commitments.
Gujarat’s Role In India’s Cybercrime Fight
With cyber fraud cases escalating across India, Gujarat has emerged as a leading state in tackling financial cybercrimes. By not only busting a syndicate worth ₹804 crore but also ensuring partial reimbursement to victims, the Gujarat Police set an example of strong enforcement and victim-centric justice.
Authorities confirmed that further investigations are underway to identify more operatives, trace additional assets, and dismantle the entire global network behind the fraud.
