The Maharashtra Cyber Department probing a Rs 58 crore "digital arrest" fraud case in Mumbai has found an international network with links extending to Hong Kong, China and Indonesia, an official said.

In one of India's biggest reported 'digital arrest' scams, cyber fraudsters siphoned off Rs 58 crore from a Mumbai-based businessman by posing as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials between August 19 to October 8 this year.

The entire racket operated through cryptocurrency transactions with the stolen funds routed abroad via multiple crypto wallets, the official said on Tuesday.
