New Delhi/Dehradun: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has carried out raids at 11 locations in Dehradun, Delhi, Noida, and Gurugram in connection with a ₹260 crore international cyber fraud case. During the raids, ED teams seized several documents and digital evidence. The investigation continued late into the night.

According to ED sources, the probe was launched under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) based on FIRs filed by the CBI and Delhi Police. Investigations revealed that the accused posed as police officers or technical support agents to defraud Indian and foreign nationals, threatening them with arrest to extort large sums of money.

The siphoned funds were allegedly converted into cryptocurrency—mainly Bitcoin—and routed through hawala operators in the UAE, where they were converted into cash via USDT (a dollar-based crypto token).

The CBI had already filed a chargesheet in the case in December 2024. With ED’s intervention, the process to attach the accused’s properties is now underway.
