The CBI carried out extensive searches at 67 locations across seven cities in Rajasthan and Maharashtra as part of a probe into a case involving suspicious IMPS transactions amounting to ₹820 crore across various UCO Bank accounts.
The investigation stems from a complaint lodged by UCO Bank, stating that between November 10 and 13 last year, there were numerous IMPS inward transactions. These transactions, originating from 14,600 accounts of seven private banks, were erroneously credited to over 41,000 UCO Bank accounts.
The CBI initiated a case on November 21 in connection with these irregularities.
