The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

According to authorities, the scam involved manipulated online betting platforms such as Diamondexchange.com, wolf777.com, and world777.com. The primary victim was allegedly induced to invest heavily through promises of high returns. Investigators stated that the platforms were rigged with technical glitches whenever the victim neared a win, causing cumulative losses amounting to approximately Rs 58.42 crore.

The illicit proceeds were allegedly routed through multiple channels, including cash couriers using hawala-style token notes and bank transfers to designated agent accounts. Funds were reportedly layered through various mule accounts, withdrawn in cash, or remitted abroad under the guise of import payments. During the operation, the agency seized cash, luxury vehicles, bank lockers, digital devices, and property documents, alongside freezing over one hundred bank accounts and mutual funds.
