Cambodia Link, NGOs Used to Route Cash in Delhi’s Biggest Digital Arrest Case
Delhi police have cracked a major digital money laundering case involving ₹23 crore, leading to five arrests. The investigation revealed that funds were being routed through NGOs and channels linked to Cambodia, highlighting a complex network used to disguise illegal cash flows. Central to the case was a 78-year-old retired banker who had been under ‘digital arrest’ for six weeks, a rare measure allowing authorities to monitor suspects’ digital activities without physical detention. The accused allegedly facilitated the movement of large sums through multiple accounts and shell entities. Police officials termed this as Delhi’s biggest ‘digital arrest’ case, showcasing the growing use of technology by criminals and law enforcement alike. The crackdown follows increasing efforts to tackle cyber-enabled financial crimes and money laundering, with authorities emphasizing enhanced monitoring and regulatory scrutiny of NGO operations and international transactions. The probe is ongoing, with further arrests and seizures expected.
