Hissar man arrested for giving bank account to fraudsters in ₹1.08 crore Gurugram fraud case | India News

Police in Haryana arrested a 29-year-old man from Hisar district for allegedly assisting cyber fraudsters by providing his bank account to siphon off illegally obtained funds. Investigators stated the suspect opened a current account with a private bank, which received a portion of the money stolen from a resident of Gurugram. The case stems from a complaint filed late last year, in which a Gurugram resident alleged losing at least ₹1.08 crore to a stock market investment fraud.

The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

According to investigators, the victim approached the cybercrime police station in November of last year to report the massive financial loss after being lured into the fraudulent investment scheme. Following the complaint, authorities registered an FIR and began tracking the flow of funds, which eventually led them to the bank account tied to the Hisar resident. Police reported that a specific amount of ₹3.74 lakh from the total fraud proceeds was deposited directly into the suspect's account.

During interrogation, the arrested man allegedly admitted to working with an associate, stating that he allowed his bank account to be used in exchange for a commission on every major transaction. Police officials explained that the suspect would either withdraw cash to deposit elsewhere after taking his cut or transfer the funds digitally to other accounts. Authorities are currently continuing their inquiries to locate remaining members of the fraud network and trace the rest of the missing money.
