The North Cyber Police have arrested a man from Surat in Gujarat for his involvement in a multi-layered cyber fraud network operating across the country. According to investigators, Narayan Shankar Mali, 23, was linked not only to an e-challan malware scam but also to investment and “like-and-share” fraud schemes that cheated victims to the tune of lakhs.

Police said the Mali, originally from Bhilwara district in Rajasthan, was residing in Surat, where he managed his brother-in-law’s ice cream shop. However, investigators allege that this was just a front and that he was actively assisting cyber fraudsters.
