Reports from Indian media state that cybercriminals somehow obtained the ability to operate a dormant State Bank of India account held by Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee, transferring about 5556 lakh from his active Kalighat branch account into the dormant account and then withdrawing the full amount; the bank has filed a complaint with the Kolkata Police cybercrime division, which is investigating how forged or manipulated KYC information, including Banerjees photo and mobile number, was used to facilitate the online banking fraud and whether any internal security lapses contributed to the theft.
