- Officials allege about Rs 95 crore flowed into India from November 2025 to April 2026 by using Truist Bank–linked cards to make repeated ATM withdrawals that bypassed normal banking checks.
- Suspicious cash pulls were concentrated in Left Wing Extremism zones such as Dhamtari and Bastar in Chhattisgarh, where roughly Rs 6.5 crore was withdrawn over recent years.
