Case filed against Haryana Gramin Bank Manager for illegally withdrawing money from customer’s account

An employee of Sarva Haryana Gramin Bank’s Jhajra branch committed fraud by deceitfully withdrawing ₹88,26,369. The accused, Sudhir Kumar, collaborated with his wife and others, opening accounts in their names to wrongfully extract money from customers. The police have registered a case based on the bank manager Khushboo Saxena’s complaint, revealing the manipulation of various transactions by the accused. Sudhir Kumar, formerly an assistant employee residing in Najafgarh, Delhi, orchestrated the fraudulent activities with his wife Ruchi Kumar, Shreekant Ojha from Najafgarh, and Madhumati Singh.

According to officials, the accused Sudhir, in collusion with others, improperly withdrew cash deposited by various customers. He manipulated the voucher records, placing the deposited cash from a specific date into previous voucher records. Sudhir initially opened a savings account in his wife Ruchi Kumar’s name, then matured Krishna’s deposit amount before the due date and transferred the entire sum to a newly opened account in his wife’s name, subsequently transferring it to other accounts of his wife and accomplices.

Sudhir, the bank employee, altered the customer’s mobile number by tampering with the bank records, replacing it with Shreekant Ojha’s and others’ mobile numbers. He bypassed the ID integration system, issued debit cards to the accomplices, and conducted fraudulent transactions, withdrawing or transferring the ill-gotten amount through ATMs and UPI transactions in various channels. The accused even deposited a Fixed Deposit certificate of ₹50,00,000 without the mandatory maturity verification and deposited it into the newly opened savings account.

Upon discovering discrepancies in several customers’ accounts, the bank management initiated an internal investigation, leading to suspicion of the accused’s involvement. Subsequently, the accused employee Sudhir Kumar ceased to come to the bank. The Economic Offences Wing of the police conducted an inquiry after receiving a complaint and found the allegations to be true. Following this, on Tuesday evening, the police filed a case against the former bank employee, his wife, and others.
