The Gurugram cyber police have arrested an employee of IndusInd Bank in a case of cyber fraud of over Rs 35 lakh. The accused was involved in opening bank accounts for some fraudsters, who duped people on the pretext of investments in the share market.

According to the police, a person had filed a complaint in July last year that he had been duped of Rs 35.69 lakh on the pretext of share market investments.

An FIR was registered in this regard at the cyber-crime police station (East).

The cyber police on Friday arrested one accused, identified as Ayushman, a resident of Shiv Durga Vihar in Faridabad. During interrogation, the accused said he was an employee of IndusInd Bank, and had helped open a bank account of a fake firm, in which Rs 1,21,200, defrauded from the complainant, was transferred.

“The arrested bank employee used to get Rs 20,000 for opening a bank account. In this case, another bank employee, Harinder Bhati, was arrested in November last year. We are questioning the accused,” said ACP (Cyber) Vikas Kaushik.
