The CBI is probing a case where over 41,000 UCO Bank customers received surprise credits of varied amounts in their accounts during November 10-13 without any corresponding debits in the originating accounts, they said.
Uco Bank filed a complaint with the CBI, alleging that two sports engineers working in the bank transferred 820 crore INR from seven private banks to their bank accounts between November 10, 2023, and November 13, 2023.
The money landed in accounts of UCO Bank customers through 8.53 lakh IMPS transactions originating from 14,000 account holders of private banks in 3 days.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has carried out searches in 13 locations, in connection with UCO Bank's IMPS glitch case. It also filed an FIR in this regard.
The searches were conducted across the premises of accused and some other bank officials, at several locations in West Bengal and Karnataka including Kolkata and Mangalore according to a press statement on Tuesday.
