The manager, clerk and employee of Harda UCO Bank committed fraud by cashing 11 checks kept as security against the credit limit and loan of the customers. Through cheques, Rs 75 lakh was transferred to the accounts of a sweeper working in a hotel, a current bank employee and relatives and acquaintances of the deceased employee. The police officer suspects of withdrawing the deposited money and giving commission to the sweeper.
The apprehension is also being strengthened because most of the accounts in which the money was transferred now have only Rs 500 to Rs 5000 deposited in them. On the complaint of customers Bhupesh Sharma and Ajay Tomar, City Kotwali Police has started investigation by registering a case under sections 420, 409 and 120B of IPC against UCO Bank Manager Nitin Malviya, Clerk Santosh Dubey and (deceased) employee Jitendra Rajput. In this case, accused bank employee Jitendra had consumed poison on November 20.
He died during treatment. Here, City Kotwali TI AR Khan said that investigation of the matter is going on. According to the information, Rs 25 lakh was transferred from the bank accounts of Pathak Colony resident Bhupesh Sharma and his son Ayush. Sharma kept checks for credit limit and son’s property mortgage. Sharma transferred the amount to different accounts through 2 and 3 checks signed by Ayush. Similarly, LIG Colony resident Ajay Tomar was made victim of fraud. Rs 50 lakh has been embezzled via the cheques deposited for the case limit.
