Police detained a man accused of providing a bank account to channel commission in a ₹6.80 crore fraud, raising the total number of arrested suspects to eight.
Police officials announced the arrest of a man alleged to have supplied a bank account that was used to receive commission in a large‑scale fraud amounting to ₹6.80 crore. The suspect was taken into custody after investigators traced financial transactions linked to the illegal scheme.
The investigation, which began after complaints of money‑laundering and embezzlement, revealed that the bank account facilitated the movement of illicit funds among the conspirators. Authorities say the account was a critical node for distributing the commission earned from the fraudulent activities.
With this latest arrest, the number of individuals held in connection with the case has risen to eight. Law enforcement agencies continue to interrogate the detainees and are pursuing further leads to uncover the full extent of the network behind the scam.
