The CBI has made significant strides in its investigation into mule accounts, arresting a 10th suspect in Patna, Bihar. These accounts have been linked to a complex network utilized by cyber criminals to launder money illicitly.

Officials have identified that this suspect had connections extending to foreign countries, a revelation that expands the scope of the ongoing investigation. The crackdown is part of a broader effort to dismantle mule accounts across 700 bank branches nationwide.

In simultaneous raids across multiple states, nine other individuals were taken into custody earlier. These operations involve the collaboration of suspected middlemen, agents, and account holders who played a role in facilitating these fraudulent activities.
