Gurugram, January 16, 2026: Gurugram Police have arrested a bank relationship manager for allegedly opening bank accounts for cyber fraudsters in exchange for a commission of ₹10,000 per account. The case came to light during an investigation into a fake trading app scam.
The probe, which began on November 1, 2025, was initiated after a victim approached the Cyber Crime Police Station (South), claiming they were defrauded under the pretext of making profits through stock market and IPO investments via a fraudulent app.

Investigations revealed that five accounts were already opened by him for the fraudsters.
Two lakh rupees from the fraud proceeds were allegedly transferred to a firm’s account, Tara Logistic Private Limited, indicating the scale of the scam. Earlier, on December 30, 2025, police had apprehended five other accused from Rajendra Park, including Sher Bahadur Karki, Milan Thapa, Yanjay Rai, Manish, and Virendra Pal from Patiala.
