Police said the group operated in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Vaishali, Bettiah, and other areas. Some members helped open bank accounts using fake documents. Others handled cash withdrawal and online transfers.

During raids, police recovered 55 ATM cards, 23 mobile phones, 11 passbooks, checkbooks, SIM cards, cash, and two cars. Investigators found transaction records worth around Rs 55 crore in multiple accounts.

Officials also detected links to foreign transactions and cryptocurrency transfers. Central agencies have been informed for deeper investigation.

Police identified Saurabh Dwivedi from Bettiah as the mastermind. More arrests are expected as the probe continues. Authorities warned people to stay alert while using ATMs and online apps.

The cyber crime unit of Motihari traced the scam while monitoring financial transactions. One account alone received ₹1.49 crore in a short time. The money was quickly withdrawn, raising red flags for investigators.

Police found that fraudsters posed as officials and scared victims with fake legal threats. They claimed the victims were under “digital arrest” and demanded money to avoid action. Some victims were also trapped with false promises of fixing credit scores.

Based on technical tracking and bank details, police arrested three accused from East Champaran and Sitamarhi districts. Raids were conducted in several districts, including Patna, Muzaffarpur, and Sitamarhi.

Officials said more arrests are likely as the investigation continues. Police warned people not to trust calls demanding money or personal details. Citizens were advised to report cyber fraud immediately by calling the 1930 helpline.

A female professor from TMBU, Bhagalpur, lost ₹47.60 lakh in an online fraud. During the investigation, police found that employees of a big private bank in Rajasthan helped the criminals. Shockingly, the fraudsters withdrew ₹33 lakh in one attempt. This discovery forced the police to look deeper into bank involvement.

Police teams are now questioning multiple employees. Officers plan to inform RBI and speak with senior officials of the private bank. The link between bank staff and criminals has made the case stronger.

Normally, banks confirm big withdrawals of ₹5 lakh or more by calling the account holder. But here, the employee only made a short call to the registered number for a few seconds and still allowed the withdrawal. The rule became a formality, and the money was released without proper confirmation. This raised serious doubts about employee cooperation in the fraud.
