The CBI Mumbai unit had registered a case while acting on a special input. In this case, a fake account holder, some unknown cyber thugs, some bank employees and other unknown people have been accused.
About Rs 3.81 crore transfer in a day
The CBI came to know during investigation that on July 2, 2025, about Rs 3.81 crore was transferred from people of different cyber frauds across the country to the same fake account. As soon as the money came in this account, it was immediately transferred to more than 100 and fake account.
This money continued to transfer thousands of fake accounts in many layers, so that it is difficult to reach the real thugs. This entire network included people from different cities of the country, whose work was to open fake accounts and make money here and there.
CBI got these things during investigation
The CBI has revealed in its investigation that these fake accounts were opened with the help of some bank employees and middlemen. While opening these accounts, neither KYC was properly examined nor the background check of the customer was done. RBI’s master circular and the bank’s own guidelines were also completely ignored.
The CBI has recovered at many places in this case and during the investigation, CBI has recovered mobile phones, iPad, documents related to opening fake accounts, bank transaction details and KYC documents. The CBI has also come to know that some agents had also made arrangements to stay in Nagpur in the name of the fake account holder in Mumbai.
This was the identity of the three accused
After the transaction, these agents were paid in crypto currency as a commission, which was later distributed among other people. Sudhir Bhaskar Palande was a fake account holder among the three accused arrested by the CBI. Apart from this, both Yash Thakur and Shaurya Sunil Kumar Singh were both agents, who are currently in judicial custody. The CBI is investigating the matter even further and there may be more arrests soon.
