New Delhi, June 27 -- The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has unearthed around 850,000 mule bank accounts in 700 branches across India which were allegedly being used by cyber criminals for maintaining and routing the proceeds of crime generated by duping people, officials said on Thursday. The crackdown on these mule accounts, opened using fake IDs for the limited use of siphoning victims' money, came through a coordinated search operation named Chakra-V at 42 locations in Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh during which nine suspects were taken into custody, officials said.P11
