Punjab Police: In a major breakthrough against organised financial crimes, the Punjab Police, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has successfully dismantled a hawala network in Kapurthala. Acting swiftly on backward linkages, Kapurthala Police recovered ₹2.05 crore of hawala money and arrested an associate connected to a Ludhiana-based hawala operator.
Bhagwant Mann Hails Kapurthala Police for Busting Major Hawala Network Worth ₹2.05 Crore
This action comes close on the heels of a massive cyber-fraud crackdown last week in Phagwara, where Kapurthala Police unearthed a large-scale online scam. The operation led to the arrest of 38 accused, along with the seizure of 40 laptops, 67 mobile phones, and ₹10 lakh of suspected hawala money.
The ongoing investigation is expected to uncover deeper connections
Officials confirmed that the arrested individuals were part of a larger nexus funding operations through illegal hawala channels. The ongoing investigation is expected to uncover deeper connections and expose the full scale of the network.
The Punjab Police reiterated its commitment to curbing cybercrime, dismantling hawala operations, and protecting citizens’ hard-earned money. CM Bhagwant Mann has repeatedly emphasized a zero-tolerance policy against financial crimes that threaten the state’s economy and public trust.
