8.5 lakh mule bank accounts used by cyber frauds, CBI raids 42 places
New Delhi: The CBI said on Thursday that it detected around 8.5 lakh mule bank accounts across over 700 branches of different banks, which were being used by cyber scammers. The agency filed an FIR and conducted raids at 42 locations in Delhi, UP, and Rajasthan in connection with the use of these mule accounts in cyber frauds. Nine individuals, including three Delhi residents named Lovkesh Shakya, Savan Kumar, and Vishal, were arrested. Farman Beg and Purushottam from Uttarakhand, Shubham Kamboj and Umardeen from UP, and Yousuf and Ashok from Rajasthan are also among those who have been arrested so far. The CBI's action comes as part of its operation Chakra V. The CBI initially registered a preliminary inquiry to unearth the conspiracy involving mule accounts, the role of bankers, and the middlemen. "The inquiry revealed that more than 700 branches of various banks across India opened around 8.5 lakh mule accounts. These accounts were opened without proper KYC norms, customer due diligence, or initial risk assessment," the CBI's statement said.

Some of the banks also failed to send acknowledgements to customers, which would have indirectly verified the addresses of the account holders. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The guidelines issued via the RBI master circular and certain internal guidelines issued by the banks were also violated," the statement added. Hence, an FIR was registered for offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, and use of forged documents, as well as for criminal misconduct by bank officials under the Prevention of Corruption Act. During the searches, several incriminating documents, digital evidence, mobile phones, bank account opening documents, transaction details, and KYC documents were seized. Individuals, including middlemen involved in opening mule bank accounts, were also identified. These accounts, the CBI said, were being used in a range of crimes, including those carried out by impersonation, fraudulent advertisements, investment traps, and UPI-based financial baits. "The cyber fraudsters are being helped by the commissions and omissions of certain bank officials, agents, aggregators, bank correspondents, middlemen, and e-Mitras who are facilitating the opening of mule accounts used for receiving and transferring proceeds of cyber frauds as well as enabling withdrawals from such accounts," the agency said.

The White Shirt Revolution: Uathayam's Legacy of Elegance for the Modern Indian Man
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 26: In the heart of Tamil Nadu's textile belt, where tradition is as deeply woven as the cotton spun through its looms, a quiet revolution began. It wasn't loud, but it was confident. And it came in white. Since 2003, Uathayam has redefined how Indian men dress - with a vision grounded in heritage and crafted for the future. What started in Erode as a homegrown venture producing classic dhotis quickly evolved into something far greater: a symbol of modern elegance steeped in cultural pride. At its core? The quintessential white shirts. A Shirt. A Statement. In South India, white isn't just a colour - it's a code. It speaks of purity, purpose, and prestige. From political leaders to professionals, it's worn not just to be seen, but to be respected. Uathayam took this cultural icon and gave it contemporary relevance. They didn't change what it stood for. They just made it sharper, cooler, and infinitely more wearable. Whether it's the boardroom, a festival, or a relaxed Sunday brunch, the Uathayam white shirts for men blends seamlessly into every moment of a man's life. Cut from 100% premium cotton, these shirts offer breathable comfort, stain resistance, and tailored fits that strike the perfect balance between tradition and trend. Tailored for Today's Trailblazer Every Uathayam shirt is an ode to the Indian man - ambitious, grounded, stylish. With options ranging from stiff and soft Chinese collars to full and half sleeves, the brand caters to every preference. Whether you're slipping into a classic formal fit for work or a soft, casual version for a day out, Uathayam ensures the white shirt remains your most versatile weapon. Pair it with navy trousers for corporate finesse, throw on a leather jacket for date-night flair, or wear it with a traditional dhoti for an occasion that calls for culture and class. The white shirt becomes what you want it to be. Heritage Meets Innovation What makes Uathayam truly revolutionary is its ability to modernize tradition without losing authenticity. Alongside their revered shirt collection, they continue to lead in dhotis and kurtas for men - garments that have been part of India's cultural fabric for generations. From the ministerial crispness of their classic dhotis to the rich textures of their wedding collections, Uathayam garments aren't just worn - they're experienced. Each piece carries the legacy of South India's textile mastery, reimagined for a generation that wants both heritage and ease. More Than Just a Shirt - A Cultural Movement Uathayam is more than a brand. It's a quiet but powerful movement that reminds us that style doesn't have to shout to be seen. In a world chasing trends, it stays rooted, crafting clothes that stand the test of time - just like the men who wear them. As India's modern mavericks rediscover the charm of simple, elegant dressing, Uathayam continues to lead the way - one white shirt at a time. Discover timeless style, redefined. Discover Uathayam.
