In a significant development, Delhi Police arrested Mohammad Javed, a 49-year-old restaurateur and son of a former associate of the popular Khan Chacha eatery, as part of its ongoing crackdown on cybercrime. This arrest is linked to a sophisticated network of mule accounts implicated in ₹3.3 crore worth of fraudulent transactions. The operation, dubbed ‘CyHawk 4.0’, has been described as the largest cybercrime initiative undertaken by the police, resulting in over 1,400 arrests and the identification of 3,564 mule accounts associated with cyber fraud across India. The investigation revealed that Javed's bank account, initially opened for a restaurant business, was misappropriated for illegal transactions, with approximately ₹54 lakh directly credited before being laundered through multiple accounts. Javed and his brother, Mohammad Saleem, admitted during interrogation that financial difficulties prompted them to allow their account to be exploited. The police have also seized digital evidence, including mobile phones and SIM cards, and are pursuing additional suspects involved in the scheme. Operation CyHawk 4.0 has uncovered various other cybercrime cases, including a ₹67 crore fraud network and links to international cybercriminals in countries like Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
