“The syndicate was being remotely controlled by China-based operators through social media channels, where banking credentials were shared and malicious APK files used to bypass OTPs,” the official said.

The accused were allegedly running a multi layered operation involving mule bank accounts to route proceeds of cyber frauds. Cash worth Rs 4.70 lakh, 14 mobile phones, 20 SIM cards and seven debit cards were recovered during the operation, he added.
