A 25-year-old man, reportedly the personal assistant of a
Rajya Sabha MP from Kerala, has been arrested in a major operation
targeting organised cyber financial crimes, police said.
The accused, Hassan Anas, was taken into custody by the
Perumbavoor Police after investigation revealed that his bank
account had received ₹1,70,000 through layered transactions from the
account of a resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
Police said the suspect was withdrawing money from this
“mule account” using cheques and other methods, making him an active
participant in an organised cybercrime network.
A mule account is a bank account used by fraudsters to
receive, transfer, or launder illicit funds, often without the full
knowledge of the account holder.
As part of Operation Cy-Hunt, a statewide crackdown on cyber fraud,
Kerala Police last week arrested over 264 individuals and registered
more than 383 cases aimed at dismantling organised cybercrime
networks and recovering defrauded funds.
