On Tuesday, October 19, 2021, Delhi Police announced the arrest of 12 people, including three HDFC Bank employees, for attempting to withdraw money from a very high-value NRI account without authorization. This group attempted 66 unauthorised online transactions on the said high-value NRI account, according to the Cyber Crime Unit of the Special Cell.
The bank employees are also obtained an Indian mobile phone number that was identical to the account holder’s registered mobile number in the KYC in the United States.
According to Delhi Police, HDFC Bank filed a complaint with the Special Cell’s Cyber Crime Unit alleging that many unauthorised internet banking attempts were discovered in one NRI bank account. Attempts of the bank employees to withdraw money from the same account were also made using the fraudulently obtained cheque book.

In light of this, the Delhi Police said it had formed a team tasked with identifying the perpetrators using technical footprints and human intelligence.
“On the basis of technical evidence, footprints, and human intelligence, multiple geolocations were identified. In all, raids were conducted at 20 locations across Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. During the course of the investigation, all 12 persons have been arrested. Out of the 12 arrested accused persons, 3 are HDFC bank employees, who were involved in issuing the cheque book, updating the mobile phone number and removing the debt freeze of the account,” Delhi Police said.
