An FIR was registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station, East, and an investigation was taken up.

During interrogation, Ayushman revealed that he had opened a bank account in a fake firm's name and transferred into it ₹1,21,200 of the defrauded money.

"The arrested bank employee used to get ₹20,000 for opening a bank account," ACP Cyber Vikas Kaushik said

Another bank employee, Harinder Bhati, was arrested in November last year in connection with the same fraud, he said.
