The Delhi Police’s Crime Branch apprehended Irshad Malik, a 35-year-old bank employee at RBL Bank, for his alleged involvement in a cyber-fraud scheme. Malik is accused of aiding the operation of a fraudulent bank account that scammed victims out of crores of rupees through online networks.
Malik, residing in Ghaziabad, misused his position as a bank relationship manager to facilitate the opening of the fraudulent account. The case, originating from a complaint regarding unauthorized transactions, revealed that the account was opened using forged documents in the name of “Lawrie Trade Exim.”
Police investigations uncovered that Malik knowingly accepted forged documents to open accounts for illegal activities. He confessed to receiving commissions for his role in facilitating the cyber-fraud proceeds through these accounts. The police have arrested four other individuals earlier in connection with the case.
Further probing is ongoing to uncover additional links within the cyber-fraud network and identify other beneficiaries involved in the racket.
