Does it matter if some amount in visitor's account is transferred by someone else?
Ques 1:
Visitor is working in foreign country since last 1 year 3 months and has opened account 3 months before in that country.
What if someone else other than visitor transfers money in visitor's 3 month old account in the country he is working to increase funds 1 month before applying visa application and the final balance funds before applying uk visitor visa are(35% of visitor from his salary) and 65% transferred by someone else?Is that a problem?
Ques 2:
Is it required to show both countries accounts or one can show his current working country account which is 3 months old and the visitor has some 4-5 lakhs Indian rupees fixed deposits?
Or, both countries 3 months statement or home country's 6 month statement?
Ques 3:
In the visitor's home country account of which he is citizen, someone else (same person who transferred in his current working country account)has transferred some of the funds in that account .is that a problem?
But the visitor also transfers his earned money from foreign country(where he is working now and from where he is planning to apply visa) to his home country.
Please help.

1) Without a full explanation - and that'll include some kind of certified letter and originating bank statement from the person who made the transfer - the ECO is likely to believe the money is there to artificially boost his bank balance and isn't actually available to the visa applicant.
2) Show everything or the ECO will get confused - also lay it out in a covering letter if the finances are complex to help them understand. Particularly given what you say about him moving money.
3) See 1.

Thanks for your reply. The money which came to his working country account was from UK .Is UK bank certificate required stating that transfer was made from this account?But is this transfer a problem for the visitor?Can the ECO think that the visitor has more percent money from someone in Uk in his account than from his own salary?
2) Show everything or the ECO will get confused - also lay it out in a covering letter if the finances are complex to help them understand. Particularly given what you say about him moving money.
In the Indian bank account statements it shows the ref. as exchange of the working country when the visitor sends money to that account..is there still need to explain it.Will that not confuse the ECO more.
3) See 1.
Is 3 months or 6 months statement must to show?Is it worth only showing 3 months statement of the working country account and leave Indian (home country)account?
