In a significant cyber fraud case in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, four employees of a private bank, including a branch manager, have been arrested for allegedly collaborating with cybercriminals to siphon off Rs1.93 crore from dormant bank accounts.
The arrests were made following a complaint filed by Mohd Aslam, a resident of Meerut, who discovered that his dormant account had been fraudulently accessed. Investigations revealed that the bank employees provided confidential customer details to scammers, enabling unauthorized fund transfers.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Balram alias Balle, Ankit Sharma, Jitendra Kumar alias Jeetu, and Shubham Kaushik. The police have also identified two masterminds, Naval Saini from Gurgaon and Devit Gautam from Malagarh village in Bulandshahr, who allegedly led the cyber fraud network.
Efforts are underway to trace and detain the remaining accused, and raids are being conducted at multiple locations to uncover the full extent of this organized fraud.
