In Sehore district, serious action has been taken against employees of the District Cooperative Central Bank Limited, Sehore, for misconduct and financial irregularities. The most notable case involves the branch manager of the Hakimabad branch, Ramesh Waria, who falsely claimed to belong to a reserved category (Scheduled Tribe) to secure his position and obtain promotions.
Dismissal of Branch Manager
Ramesh Waria was dismissed from his post after it was discovered that he had misled the bank by falsely claiming to be from the Scheduled Tribe category. He not only secured his job but also received two promotions based on this false information.
The issue came to light when a complaint was filed with the district’s Collector and Bank Administrator, Praveen Singh Adhayach. Upon investigation, it was revealed that Waria had provided false details about his category, leading to his recruitment and promotions. Following these findings, the staff sub-committee of the bank, under the leadership of the Collector, took the decision to remove Waria from service.
In addition to his dismissal, Waria was also found guilty of unauthorized construction work while he was posted at the Hakimabad branch. As a result, it was decided to permanently withhold two of his salary increments as further punishment.
Punishment of Two Other Bank Employees
Alongside the dismissal of Waria, action was also taken against two other employees:
- Dinesh Solanki (Assistant Accountant) – During his posting at the Shyampur branch, Solanki was found guilty of financial irregularities. The inquiry committee revealed that he was involved in irregular financial transactions amounting to Rs. 11.91 lakhs. As a result, it was decided to permanently withhold two of Solanki’s annual salary increments. Moreover, legal proceedings have been initiated to recover the amount, and Solanki has been held accountable for the sum in case of non-recovery.
- Kailash Dhangar (Peon) – Dhangar, who was posted at the bank’s head office, faced a complaint of misconduct. After an investigation, the charges were proven, and despite his apology during a personal hearing, two of his annual salary increments were permanently withheld.
Collector’s Warning to Bank Employees
The Chief Executive Officer of the bank, PN Yadav, confirmed the actions taken by the Collector and Bank Administrator, Praveen Singh Adhayach, who has shown zero tolerance towards misconduct in the bank. The Collector has issued a stern warning to all bank employees, stating that strict action will be taken against anyone found involved in fraudulent activities or misconduct.
He emphasized that every employee must perform their duties with honesty and dedication, and those involved in wrongdoings will not be spared. This action serves as a reminder for all employees to uphold integrity in their professional conduct and to be accountable for their actions within the bank.
