CCB busts fake e-bank guarantee racket, arrests CA from Kuwait

Central Crime Branch officials busted a fake e-bank guarantee racket and arrested a 45-year-old chartered accountant (CA) who was operating from Kuwait and duped many beneficiaries to the tune of ₹168 crore to secure loans and other benefits from banks.

The fraud came to light when National e-Governance Services Ltd. officially verifying e-bank guarantees detected 11 applicants to have submitted fake e-guarantees and filed a complaint with the Shivajinagar police.

Considering the ramification, the CCB cyber crime team took over the case and tracked down Ashish Roy, a CA from Uttar Pradesh, operating from Kuwait, to be the kingpin.
