Special Task Force, Uttarakhand discovered 10 bank accounts opened by people submitting false documents to the banks in Uttarakhand. This was revealed during the investigation of bank fraud cases, said the STF SSP P Renuka Devi. She said that task force personnel have been directed to verify these bank accounts thoroughly. Anyone including bank officials found guilty will be booked under appropriate sections of IPC in the police station concerned, added the SSP.
Another cyber crime police officer said that while reviewing one of the illegal net-banking transaction cases, it was revealed that fraudsters had claimed to their target that he had won a lucky draw and would be awarded Rs one crore. However, to receive the money, the target was asked to submit around Rs one lakh as entry charge. The fraudsters had given him a bank account number instructing him to deposit the money in it. The complainant had deposited the money in the bank account as directed but did not receive the amount promised some months later so he had approached the cyber crime police station. In course of investigation it was revealed that the bank account in question was created using false documents.
