CBI investigates banks for mule accounts used in cyber fraud
Jaipur: Banks in Rajasthan and many other states are under scrutiny following a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) operation targeting mule bank accounts used to facilitate cyber fraud . As part of Operation Chakra-V, CBI carried out coordinated raids Thursday across 42 locations in five states—Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh—to dismantle a network of cybercriminals who exploited bank accounts for digital scams, investment fraud, UPI-based frauds, and impersonation schemes. According to a CBI spokesperson, approximately 8.5 lakh mule accounts were opened across more than 700 bank branches nationwide. These accounts, often set up using forged documents or without proper Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence, or risk assessment, were used to siphon funds from unsuspecting victims. The investigation revealed that some bank managers bypassed Enhanced Due Diligence even when internal systems flagged suspicious transactions. Several banks failed to dispatch customer acknowledgement letters—an essential step in address verification—as mandated by the Reserve Bank of India. CBI has registered an FIR under sections covering criminal conspiracy, cheating, forgery, and use of forged documents along with charges of criminal misconduct under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The FIR names bank officials, agents, e-Mitras, aggregators, and middlemen as accused in facilitating opening of illicit accounts. During the searches, CBI teams seized digital data, mobile phones, account opening forms, transaction records, and KYC documentation. Nine individuals—comprising middlemen, agents, aggregators, account holders, and bank correspondents—were arrested for their roles in setting up and maintaining mule accounts used to launder cyber fraud proceeds.
