The probe agency registered a case of money laundering and raided several places last month and recovered digital evidence. Statements of those who owned the crypto wallets that were used in the crime were also recorded.
Lisa Roth, a woman from the US, got a call on July 4, 2023, from a person who claimed to be an "agent of Microsoft". He asked her to transfer $400,000 dollars to a cryptocurrency wallet. Little did Ms Roth know that he had fallen victim to a cyber fraud and she was duped of Rs 3.3 crore ($400,000).
A year later, the Enforcement Directorate arrested a bookie and a cryptocurrency handler based out of Delhi. Lakshya Vij, the bookie, lives in east Delhi's Dilshad Garden and his name surfaced when last year in March, the Gujarat Police arrested him from the Cross River Mall in east Delhi and it was alleged that a senior police officer of Delhi Police got him released.
