CBI brings back tech fraud accused Angad Singh Chandhok from US after extradition battle
New Delhi [India], May 24 (ANI): The Central Bureau of Investigation has successfully extradited Angad Singh Chandhok, an Indian national, from the United States. Chandhok is accused of orchestrating a multi-million-dollar tech support fraud targeting senior American citizens through a network of shell companies. He was convicted by a US court in connection with large-scale online fraud. He and his associates posed as tech support providers, deceiving victims into transferring substantial sums of money. According to a March 2022 press statement from the US Department of Justice, he was sentenced to six years in prison for his role in the scheme. Authorities revealed that the fraudulently obtained funds were funnelled through several shell companies set up by Chandhok, with the money eventually moved to India and other countries. According to the United States' attorney office, District of Rhode Island, while living in California, Angad Singh Chandhok, 34, operated a long-running and complex money laundering network, in which he created and used shell companies to move millions of dollars stolen from Americans through an online tech support scheme, and later an online travel fee scheme. Chandhok, who had at least five others working at his direction, was in direct contact with high-ranking international members of the scheme.
