Now a procession and protest took place on Thursday, organized by AISA-RYA and CPI-ML workers, to condemn the bank employee who had illegally withdrawn money from customers’ accounts at the Union Bank of India’s Singhia Ghat branch in Samastipur. The participants demanded strict action against the culprits involved in this fraudulent activity. The procession, consisting of a large number of AISA, RYA, and CPI-ML workers, marched through Mohanpur Road, displaying flags and banners highlighting their grievances regarding the fake withdrawal scandal. The procession culminated at the regional office of Union Bank of India located at Nakku Sthan, where the protesters surrounded the office to voice their demands.
A meeting was held during the protest, chaired by RYA’s Roshan Kumar and conducted by AISA District President Lokesh Raj. Surendra Prasad Singh, a member of the CPI-ML District Standing Committee, addressed the gathering, revealing that the bank employee had withdrawn money from customers’ accounts by forging their signatures. The attendees urged authorities to identify and take strict action against the culprits while also calling for investigations into similar cases in other bank branches.
RYA District Secretary Roshan Kumar, in his presidential address, shed light on the methods employed by the fraudulent employee, such as changing the mobile number associated with the account, conducting transactions using OTPs, and carrying out withdrawals through checks or fake transfers. He emphasized the need to thoroughly investigate the involvement of other employees and possible external collaborators. Failure to uncover the truth would result in the continuation of the movement from the streets to the halls of power.
In response to a call from regional chief Rajesh Kumar, a delegation of five members led by AISA District President Lokesh Raj visited the regional office and submitted a memorandum. Their demands included a timely investigation, the dismissal and imprisonment of the culprits, and the return of the stolen funds to the affected customers.
