Nagpur: Jaripatka Police have registered a case against four bank account holders after an analysis of cybercrime complaints allegedly revealed that their accounts were used to receive and transfer money linked to online financial frauds reported across multiple states in India.

The case concerns four accounts maintained at the Bank of Maharashtra’s Indira Gandhi Colony branch in Jaripatka, Nagpur.

According to the police complaint, the accounts belonged to Sarika Nilesh Kaware, Aishwarya Manoj Suryawanshi, Niranjan K. Dandshi and Sheikh Salim Sheikh Shakir.

Police said they analysed information available through the Coordination Portal and National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) and found that the four accounts had allegedly surfaced in online financial fraud complaints registered in different states.

Investigators suspect that the four account holders opened bank accounts in their own names and subsequently allowed the accounts to be used for cyber financial fraud. After allegedly receiving money generated through fraudulent transactions, the funds were reportedly transferred to other bank accounts.

The police complaint states that the account holders allegedly made their bank accounts available to cybercriminals, thereby facilitating the suspected criminal activity.

Investigators found that transactions amounting to approximately ₹5,97,500 had been conducted through the four accounts in connection with the suspected fraudulent funds.

Based on the complaint filed by Police Head Constable Suryakant Tukaramji Chambhare (44) of Jaripatka Police Station, a case has been registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
