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.
Ashamed to be Banker, recently salary enhanced 17% still this people are going behind the bribe and poor people are victims of this system. Award severe punishment and remove from service.
Well it could be a set up by the customer also. The BM could be innocent. You never know the truth.
Certainly ashamed to be a Banker.
Although not sure but this must be a case where customer would have done this purposefully.
Many customers in small towns do this for 5-10 lakhs rupees loan and when they are not eligible they start doing false allegations.
Let the investigation complete then everything will be clear. Also if they recovered 3 lakh rupees from Chief Manager it may be from his salary. Usually chief managers are paid 1.5 lakh salary per months excluding perks so getting 3 lakhs is no such big deal
All seems fabricated. Who will take bribe in his office for a loan of Rs. 5.00 lakh? And amount may be just Rs. 5000/-. Without audio/video recording it can’t be provided that the amount was for bribe. In banks many customer comes directly in BMs cabin and handover their cash..ki mera deposit karwado, I can’t fill deposit receipt, i am in hurry etc..etc. It can be for loan processing charges also. CBI was there to achieve their March targets.
