A Mumbai court released four men from Gujarat on bail after they were detained in connection with an alleged mule account fraud.
The Sessions Court in Mumbai ordered bail for four individuals from Gujarat who had been arrested in connection with an alleged mule account scheme. The bail order was issued after the men had been held for several weeks following their detention by investigative agencies.
The case revolves around the alleged creation and use of bank accounts as "mules" to facilitate the movement of illicit funds. Authorities allege that the accused were part of a network that opened or operated such accounts to conceal the source of money.
While the court granted temporary liberty, the investigation remains ongoing and the men will continue to face trial on the charges linked to the mule‑account allegations.
