The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with intelligence from the FBI, broke a cybercrime network targeting US nationals since 2022. Six accused from northeastern India used fake names of US officials from the DEA, FBI, and Social Security Administration to scare victims. They told victims their Social Security Numbers were involved in crimes and their funds would be frozen. To save their money, victims were tricked into sending $8.5 million to cryptocurrency wallets and foreign banks. The scam involved pretending to help victims but only to steal their money. The CBI registered the case on December 9, 2025. They raided locations in Delhi, Noida, and Kolkata, finding an illegal call center in Noida. The raids seized ₹1.88 crore in cash, 34 electronic devices including mobiles and laptops, and important documents. The accused are Shubham Singh (Domnic), Daltanlian (Michael), George T. Zamlianlal (Miles), L. Seiminlen Haokip (Ronny), Mangkholun (Maxy), and Robert Thangkhankhual (David aka Munroin).
