Gujarat CID Uncovers ₹200 Crore Crypto Racket with Pakistan Links

India's Gujarat CID Crime unit has dismantled a sophisticated cross-border cybercrime operation funneling over ₹200 crore to Pakistan-linked cryptocurrency wallets. The network utilized mule bank accounts and digital assets to obscure illicit fund flows.
