Recently, a scaring case has come to light. An officer working in Indian Bank has been arrested by police. He had opened an account which was used for money laundering by fraudsters.

The name of bank officer is Avinash Kumar and he was working at sector 17B branch in Chandigarh zone. He is under judicial custody since 13 August 2024.
The Bank officer Mr. Avinash Kumar promoted opening of savings accounts through Tab Banking for migrated labourers. A gang approached labourers to open accounts in various banks. Once the accounts were opened, they were then used for money laundering.
