MUMBAI—Indian authorities on Sunday said they had arrested a man who had masterminded the creation of many shell companies linked to China and appointed dummy directors to run the fraudulent businesses.

The latest arrest was part of a larger probe launched by the federal government’s Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) against founders of shell companies used to conduct illegal transactions.
