BARAMULLA:In a major crackdown on cyber-enabled financial fraud, Baramulla Police has registered a case against two persons for allegedly operating mule bank accounts to route illicit funds and move black money.
The police said that *Cyber Police Station Baramulla has registered FIR No. 05/2026 under Sections 318(4) and 61(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 66(c) and 66(d) of the Information Technology Act* against two accused.
The accused have been identified as:
1. *Mohsin Ashraf Ganie*, son of ..., resident of *Gulshanabad Baramulla*
2. *Sahil Irshad*, son of ..., resident of *Khanpora Baramulla*, presently residing at *Chakloo*
According to police, the case was lodged following credible inputs that certain bank accounts were being used as *mule accounts* to receive, hold and transfer illicit money within and outside Jammu and Kashmir. Such accounts are often exploited to layer and conceal suspicious transactions, making detection of cyber frauds difficult.
Police said investigation has been set into motion to ascertain the quantum of transactions, fix individual roles, and identify other persons or networks linked to the racket.
Meanwhile, Baramulla Police has reiterated its resolve to take strict action against cyber frauds and appealed to the public *not to share bank accounts, ATM cards, credentials or allow third-party use of their accounts for commission*, warning that such acts attract strict legal action and can land them in jail.
People have been advised to immediately report any suspicious transaction or cyber fraud on helpline number *1930* or at the nearest Cyber Police Station.
