Hyderabad: SBI manager, accomplice arrested for Rs 175 crore fraud

Hyderabad: The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) officials on Wednesday arrested two persons, including a SBI manager for colluding with fraudsters and diverting Rs 175 crore worth funds illegally.

TGCSB director Shikha Goel said that they arrested the SBI manager of Shamshergunj branch Madhu Babu Gali and Upadhya Sandeep Sharma for siphoning off Rs 175 crore.

Madhul Babu colluded with the fraudsters, facilitating opening of current bank accounts, aiding in the withdrawal of funds and orchestrating the diversion of money, all in exchange for commissions, the officials said.

The officials cautioned the customers not to open a bank account for someone else or engage in suspicious transactions. “If already opened a mule account, report it to 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in. Be cautious of unsolicited offers to open bank accounts. Verify the identity and credentials of anyone asking you to open an account and monitor your account activity regularly," the officials warned.
