In a recent development, a case of fraud has come to light in IDBI Bank located in Bemetra city. It has been discovered that an employee of the bank was responsible for committing this fraudulent act. The incident took place in 2018, and the bank’s management has taken the initiative to file a complaint against their former employee, Lalit Kumar Dehri, who was 37 years old at the time and a resident of Jharsuguda, Odisha.
The police have registered a case against the accused under sections 409 and 420 of the law. According to the information received from the police station, an amount of Rs 9 lakh 50 thousand was withdrawn from the KCC (Kisan Credit Card) accounts of the farmers without any account holder information, cheques, or withdrawal forms being filled. This unauthorized withdrawal came to the farmers’ attention, prompting them to lodge a complaint with the bank.
As a result, the bank’s management initiated an investigation into the matter. Upon uncovering irregularities during the investigation, an FIR (First Information Report) has been lodged at the Bemetra City Police Station. Currently, the police are actively searching for the accused individual.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining strict security measures within financial institutions to prevent fraudulent activities. The bank’s prompt response in taking legal action against its own employee demonstrates its commitment to addressing such issues and ensuring the safety and trust of its customers.
