GUJARAT cyber fraud case involving transactions worth ₹1550 crore,
Udhana Police in Surat have arrested eight employees from three RBL Bank branches—Sahara Darwaja, Besu, and Varachha. The arrests have uncovered a wide-reaching fraud network involving over 50 lakh bank accounts nationwide.
According to DCP Bhagirath Gadhvi, the arrested bank staff were directly involved in opening 164 fake current accounts that facilitated fraudulent transactions. The employees were aware that the accused had created fake business setups, yet they helped open current accounts in violation of banking protocols. In many cases, they even guided the accused in correcting document deficiencies and fast-tracked the approval process.
Masterminds within the bank
Among those arrested are Amit Gupta (Area Head) and Arun Ghoghari (Operations Staff) of the Varachha branch, believed to be the key facilitators. Others arrested include Naresh Manani, Kalpesh Kathiriya, Kalpesh Kakadiya, Mansi Goti, Ashish Ghadiya, and Anil Jani. Investigations revealed they received illegal commissions ranging from ₹20,000 to ₹2 lakh for opening fraudulent accounts.
