A farmer has filed police complaint against ICICI Bank manager and cashier for defrauded him of ₹7.19 lakh. Farmer is saying that the accused not only increased the farmer’s Kisan Credit Card (KCC) limit without his knowledge but also changed his registered mobile number so that no transaction alerts would be sent to him.
The scam came to light when a new manager joined the bank. He informed the farmer that a large amount had been withdrawn from his account. Shocked, the farmer investigated and discovered that all this had happened without his knowledge. The incident took place in the Kherapa police station area of rural Jodhpur. A complaint has been lodged at the police station by the farmer against the ICICI Bank manager and cashier.
The farmer, Karansingh Rajput (51), a resident of Dhanari, owns 33 bighas of land on which he cultivates cumin, moong, and mustard. Around nine years ago, he opened an account at the ICICI Bank in Dhanari Kala village, registering his personal mobile number.
He also availed a Kisan Credit Card (KCC) limit of ₹8 lakh against his 33 bighas of land and had been regularly withdrawing and repaying the loan as needed.
The last transaction in his account was made on 17 February 2023. After that, cashier Mohan Ram Jat and bank manager Narsingh Ram, without informing him, changed his mobile number in the bank records. Not only that, they also increased his KCC limit to ₹15.19 lakh and withdrew money from it.
The fraud was exposed when a new bank manager took charge. On 19 June, the new manager, Revat Singh, visited the farmer’s home and informed him that ₹15.19 lakh was outstanding. He warned that failure to repay could result in land seizure. Upon reviewing the statement, the farmer found that ₹3.27 lakh had been withdrawn on 10 March 2025, even though he hadn’t visited the bank in the last two years.
More details will be released soon.
