A shocking fraud case has come to light in Rabupura, Greater Noida, where employees of Indian Bank cheated an elderly farmer by withdrawing Rs 35 lakh from his bank account illegally. As per the media reports, the fraud was done by changing the farmer’s photo and signature in the bank records.
How the Fraud Happened
The victim, Satyendra Singh, a farmer from Nagla Hukam Singh village, found out about the fraud when a cheque he had received for buying jewellery for his son’s wedding bounced. This raised suspicion, and upon investigation, it was discovered that the bank had replaced his photo and signature with those of another person named Satyendra Rana.
Who Are the Accused?
According to the victim’s son, Advocate Rohit Chaudhary, several bank employees worked together to commit this crime. They include Rahul, the branch manager of Indian Bank in Rabupura, Satyendra Rana, an HDFC Bank employee named Ravi, and some other staff members. These accused transferred Rs 35 lakh from the farmer’s account to Satyendra Rana’s account at Indian Bank in Jewar.
What Happened When the Farmer Complained?
When the farmer approached the Indian Bank manager to report the fraud, he was threatened with false legal cases. Instead of helping, the police also pressured him to settle the matter quietly without filing an official complaint. Even after taking the issue to the Police Commissioner, no proper action was taken.
Court Intervention and Police Action
Feeling helpless, the farmer finally went to court for justice. Following the court’s orders, the police registered a formal case of fraud against all the accused on Friday and have begun investigating the matter.
