Uttam Da and Mukesh Chauhan are among the other gang members who the police are currently looking for.
Before the disparities were discovered, the gang's strategy included opening fictitious bank accounts, placing counterfeit checks, and taking money out. They were also experts at using fictitious credentials for transactions and changing the identities on checks. The people who were taken into custody were identified as: Amit Roy, 29, is a computer science graduate who lives in Beldanga, West Bengal. 36-year-old Vivek Kumar is a science graduate and a resident of Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh.

This gang's fraudulent activities in Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, and other major cities were also exposed by the research.
As the police step up their attempts to find the remaining gang members and retrieve more money, this discovery is anticipated to result in more arrests. For additional
leads, the recovered items—such as cell phones and bank documents—are being examined.
