We are the victims of one of the largest cyberfraud scams ever exposed in Gujarat<\/strong>, a crime that silently drained \u20b91,550 crore<\/strong> of hard-earned money from people like us across the country. While we struggled to understand where our money vanished, a well-organized criminal network was busy laundering our stolen funds and sending them overseas. The Udhna police in Surat finally arrested four more accused who were deeply involved in this massive fraud, but the damage to victims like us had already been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accused \u2014 Abdulrab Chamadiya<\/strong>, an import-export trader, Amit Choksi<\/strong>, a money-transfer businessman, and courier operators Chirag Sutariya<\/strong> and Pravin Gadhiya<\/strong> \u2014 played a direct role in moving and hiding our stolen money. Investigators revealed that our money was routed through 164 mule bank accounts<\/strong>, deliberately created to disguise the trail of cybercrime. From these accounts, the funds were converted into dollars and cryptocurrencies like USDT and then transferred to Chinese cyberfraud syndicates<\/strong>, ensuring our money was pushed far beyond our reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police investigations exposed how \u20b990 lakh<\/strong> of stolen funds was transferred into the bank account of Amit Choksi\u2019s father<\/strong>, withdrawn in cash, and handed back to Abdulrab Chamadiya<\/strong>. From there, the money was passed to angadiyas Chirag Sutariya<\/strong> and Pravin Gadhiya<\/strong>, who converted it into cryptocurrency and sent it abroad. During raids on their offices and lockers, police seized \u20b91.92 crore in cash<\/strong>, gold bars worth \u20b934 lakh<\/strong>, silver bars worth \u20b927.42 lakh<\/strong>, diamonds, and money-counting machines \u2014 clear proof that while victims suffered, the accused were profiting shamelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This entire scam came to light only by chance on May 21, 2025<\/strong>, when police stopped a moped during a routine vehicle-checking drive and found suspicious bank documents. That single discovery exposed a massive criminal operation. Further raids uncovered all 164 mule accounts<\/strong> that received the \u20b91,550 crore<\/strong> stolen from victims like us. So far, 29 people have been arrested<\/strong>, including 8 bank officers<\/strong>, exposing how deep and corrupt this network truly was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As victims, we now know that our losses were not accidental \u2014 they were the result of deliberate, organized, and ruthless cybercrime<\/strong>. The filing of a 1.5-lakh-page chargesheet<\/strong>, the largest ever in a Gujarat cybercrime case, confirms the scale of betrayal and fraud we were subjected to. While arrests have been made, the pain, financial damage, and loss of trust caused by this international cyberfraud scam<\/strong> remain with us \u2014 a harsh reminder of how brutally cybercriminals can destroy lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
