"Money has been recovered from fraudulent accounts that were almost given up. I want to say that no fraudulent account will be left without going to court. Fraudsters have no place in this country and they will not be allowed to take banks for a ride. We will pursure every rupee of and ensure it comes back to bank accounts," Sitharaman said.

The country's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI) on Thursday clarified that it has not been identified as a nodal bank for handling Russia-related transactions.

A centralised processing centre has been operating in Gujarat GIFT City, which in turn supports the technology behind the whole gamut of trade finance operations offered to those customers, who otherwise pay more to get bank services compared with large companies.

In addition to the company, the CBI has also named its directors Ashok Yogender Punj, Rajender Kumar Bahri, Chitranjan Kumar, Jagdishchandra Goel and Alok Yogender Punj as accused in the case.
