Multiple Arrests Made for Opening Mule Accounts Linked to Cyber Fraud in India
Authorities arrested multiple individuals involved in opening mule bank accounts to facilitate cyber fraud in India. In Bengal's Nadia district, eight Bandhan Bank employees were detained for allegedly creating accounts to launder cyber fraud proceeds. Separately, three men in Hyderabad were arrested for supplying 83 mule accounts used in at least 14 cyber fraud cases, with over ₹10 crore siphoned off. Investigations revealed these accounts were used to obscure the origin of illicit funds, involving coordinated efforts across various banks and regions.
