Over 109,000 Mule Accounts Uncovered in Bihar, Patna Leads Count

Authorities in Bihar have disclosed the detection of 1.09 lakh mule accounts spread across the state. The data shows that Patna, the capital city, tops the list with the largest share of these accounts.

Mule accounts are typically used to facilitate illicit financial transactions, often acting as intermediaries for money laundering or fraud. The scale of the findings points to a significant network that may have been operating undetected for some time.

Law enforcement agencies have said they are intensifying monitoring and investigative efforts to trace the origins of the accounts and to disrupt any associated criminal activity.
