Police have registered a case against three people, including the former and present manager of Punjab National Bank Majhgawan, for embezzling Rs 8 lakh by defrauding a woman of Kotwali police station area.
It is alleged that in the name of FD, money was transferred from the woman’s account to the account of a private employee of the bank and it was embezzled.
Munni Devi, a resident of Khorma Kanhauli village, gave a complaint letter to the SP and told that she and her husband Radheshyam have a joint account in Punjab National Bank, Majhgawan. He had made an FD of Rs 8 lakh in four times by giving his cheques.
The bank employees gave him fake FD paper. After the death of the woman’s father-in-law, she came to know about this when she went to the bank to get the FD liquidated. The woman told that she had given cheques of Rs 2 lakh each for FD four times.
That amount was transferred to the account of Suraj Yadav, a private employee working in the bank. After the case of fraud came to light, the branch manager has removed that private employee.
It is alleged that the fraud was committed in connivance with the private employee and the then branch manager. The woman alleges that the former branch manager threatened to kill her if the matter was exposed.
On the complaint of the woman, Superintendent of Police Sankalp Sharma directed to register a case. Kotwali police has registered a case of fraud against the then and present branch manager, Suraj Yadav resident of Dumri, Chaurichaura police station, Gorakhpur and another bank employee.
Kotwali in-charge Mahendra Chaturvedi said that a case has been registered based on the woman’s complaint and the matter is being investigated.
