The CBI has arrested an accused who has been absconding for a long time in the big bank fraud case. The name of the accused is Biranchi Narayan Das, who was throwing dust in the eyes of the police for years. The CBI filed this case on 1 January 2017.

Investigation revealed that the accused had done transactions worth crores of rupees by opening fake bank accounts at the time of demonetisation. The Government of India lost about Rs 11.79 crore due to this fraud. The accused opened a bank account through fake identity and made a game of money.

The accused was living an anonymous life

In December 2019, a charge sheet was filed in the court and the accused was announced. Even after this, he continued to avoid repeated notice and warrant. To avoid arrest, he continued to change his hideout and was living an anonymous life.
