New Delhi: Two branch managers of a private bank are under the scanner for allegedly facilitating a mule-account racket that channelled cybercrime proceeds worth Rs 7.3 crore.
Investigators have identified around 37 suspected mule accounts linked to 99 cybercrime complaints nationwide, with nearly Rs 7.3 crore credited into them. Six people, including Shobhit Aggarwal, branch manager of the bank’s Saraswati Vihar branch, have been arrested, while Sushant Kumar , branch manager of the Tri Nagar branch, is absconding. Police are also probing alleged cryptocurrency transactions linked to the network and a suspected connection to a Chinese national. During interrogation, Kapoor allegedly disclosed that he collected identity documents and photographs from daily-wage labourers on the pretext of arranging loans and then used them to open bank accounts. Police alleged that part of the proceeds was shared with bank officials, while the remaining amount was converted into USDT cryptocurrency through Trust Wallet.
