Bankura police on Thursday arrested three more youths associated with the e-wallet racket that helped bank conmen across the country to electronically route fraudulently acquired money.

Six youths, including alleged mastermind Abhishek Mondal, were arrested on Wednesday with over 8,000 SIM cards and several computers and smartphones.

“After interrogating the six, we got to know about the three more who were arrested today (Thursday). They supplied SIM cards and forged documents,” said Dhritiman Sarkar, the Bankura police chief.

Those arrested on Thursday were Dipak Guin, an expert in making fake voter ID cards, and Manas Sahana and his brother Kripasindhu, who supplied SIM cards using forged papers.

Police also sent half-a-dozen phones to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in Calcutta to track those who gained from the fake e-wallets. SP Sarkar said the accused had deleted thousands of messages exchanged with bank fraudsters and those needed to be retrieved.

“The forensic lab will help us access this data,” he said.
