Delhi Police’s Crime Branch has arrested a relationship manager at RBL Bank for misusing his position to open a fraudulent bank account using forged documents. The account was subsequently used to route money stolen from multiple victims in a Telegram-based cyber fraud racket that siphoned off several crores of rupees.

The accused, Irshad Malik, 35, a resident of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, was arrested on April 10 from outside RBL Bank’s New Friends Colony branch, following specific intelligence that he would be present there. He was brought to the Crime Branch office in Dwarka for interrogation after he did not cooperate at the spot.
