In Betiya, the Patna team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) apprehended Anshu Sinha, the manager of Central Bank’s Chanpatia branch, for taking a bribe of 5,000 rupees on Wednesday. The team also arrested Deepak Kumar, who works at the branch, in connection with the case. After interrogating both for 12 hours, the team left for Patna late at night.
CBI officials revealed that the branch manager had demanded a bribe from a shopkeeper for a currency loan. Rahul Kumar, a resident of Machlihatta Road in Chanpatia, runs a clothing store at his residence. He wanted to operate the store with a currency loan of five lakh rupees from the bank. It is alleged that the branch manager demanded a 10% bribe from him. Subsequently, Rahul lodged a complaint with the CBI. Upon confirming the complaint, the CBI team contacted Rahul and obtained all the details of the case.
Once the case seemed legitimate, the team instructed the complainant to go to the bank and hand over the bribe amount to the manager. The manager instructed to give the money to Deepak Kumar, who was working in the bank. As soon as the complainant handed over the bribe amount to Deepak, an undercover CBI officer standing behind him caught him. Following this, the CBI team initiated an investigation at the bank.
During the investigation, the CBI seized 3.55 lakh rupees from the bank manager. It is reported that the branch manager had collected this money from people as bribes. The CBI confiscated the amount. It is worth mentioning that the branch manager, Anshu Sinha, is a resident of Purnia. Meanwhile, a crowd gathered outside the bank until late at night after the incident.
