The manager of ICICI Bank’s Sunder Nagar branch in Ludhiana has been booked for allegedly siphoning off Rs 1.41 crore from customers’ accounts. The FIR was lodged against the accused bank manager, Rahul Sharma, based on a complaint filed by Tejpal Singh of Kakowal village.

According to the complainant, Tejpal Singh, he and his family members had their accounts in ICICI Bank’s Sunder Nagar branch, where the accused had been working as a manager for almost a decade. Tejpal stated that as an old customer, Sharma knew him well and provided him with good facilities. Over time, Sharma even befriended him and started visiting his house.

In 2014, Tejpal received a notice from the income tax department regarding some transactions in their bank accounts. When he went to the bank, Sharma allegedly took the notice from him and said he would send a reply to the I-T department on the bank’s behalf. After that, Tejpal never received any notice.

However, in January 2024, Tejpal received another I-T notice, which prompted him to visit the bank. As Sharma was on leave that day, Tejpal inquired about the issue from other staff members. Upon checking the bank accounts, he discovered multiple transactions that his family and he never made. Tejpal alleged that the accused deposited money into their accounts several times and withdrew it by forging their signatures. The accused is said to have siphoned off approximately Rs 1.41 crore from the accounts.

The police have registered a case against the accused under sections 408 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating), and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The accused is yet to be arrested.
