Mumbai, Nov 12 (UNI) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a private sector bank manager from Mumbai for his alleged involvement in facilitating cybercrime operations through fraudulent bank accounts, according to an official press release issued by the agency on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Nitesh Rai, employed with Axis Bank, was taken into custody on November 11 after investigators established that he had enabled the creation of multiple mule accounts used by cybercriminals to transfer and conceal funds obtained through online fraud.
According to CBI sources, Rai misused his official position by approving and processing bank account applications submitted by individuals operating within organised cybercrime networks. In return, he allegedly accepted bribes and other illegal payments to bypass standard verification procedures.
