The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested K. Muhammed Fasal, an alleged key operative in an international cyber fraud and ATM card smuggling network, from Thamarassery in Kozhikode district.

The arrest recorded on October 17 is linked to a cyber fraud case reported in July 2024, in which a Thrissur-based complainant allegedly lost ₹1 crore after being deceived by individuals posing as FedEx officials and cybercrime police personnel. The victim was reportedly persuaded to transfer the amount on the pretext of verifying his bank account.
