INDORE: Crime Branch officers have arrested two men after a Bank of India account was allegedly identified as a mule account connected to cybercrime complaints across multiple states.
Ten complaints across seven states
Police said complaints linked to the account were reported from Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana. The action followed information from cybercrime coordination systems including I4C and the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal.
Investigators are examining suspicious transactions and whether other people were involved in operating or controlling the account.
Why mule accounts matter
Fraud networks often use third-party bank accounts to receive and move stolen money. Account holders should never hand over banking access, SIMs or credentials in return for commissions.
Cyber fraud can be reported through India’s official cybercrime system. More coverage is available on NewsNationOnline. Source: Times of India.
