Delhi Police Arrest Six in Rs 7.36 Crore Cyber Fraud Involving Mule Accounts
Delhi Police arrested six individuals, including two private bank managers, for operating a cyber fraud network involving 37 mule bank accounts linked to 99 complaints across India. The accounts received approximately Rs 7.36 crore, with some proceeds converted into cryptocurrency. The accused allegedly used forged signatures and KYC documents obtained from daily-wage labourers without their knowledge to open fraudulent accounts. Investigations began after suspicious account activities were detected at two bank branches in Tri Nagar and Saraswati Vihar, leading to the arrest of Mayank Kapoor, who coordinated the scheme.
