The branch manager of ICICI Bank has allegedly embezzled ₹2 crore from various accounts and FD loans of consumers. The incident took place in the Dhariyawad area of Pratapgarh police station. On Monday night at 9 PM, when the matter came to light, customers began protesting. Regional Head Manoj Bairagi arrived at the scene and provided an explanation.

On Tuesday, a case was registered at the Dhariyawad police station against Branch Manager Prashant Kabra (36), following which Prashant was taken into custody by the police for questioning around noon. Bhupet Rot, a customer of the bank, reported that his Kisan Credit Card (KCC) account showed a zero balance. He mentioned that he had received information from an acquaintance that his KCC account had more than ₹2 lakh until Sunday. However, when he went to withdraw the money on Monday, he found that the account had no balance.

Bhupet Rot alleged that Prashant Kabra had embezzled between 5 to 7 crores. According to police sources, during the investigation, the manager claimed that the account of businessman Jalmachand from Udaipur was in the Dhariyawad branch. Some time ago, he conducted a transaction of ₹3.60 lakh from the businessman’s account without informing him.

Upon learning of this, Jalmachand began to blackmail him. The branch manager claimed that the money withdrawn from the bank’s customers was sent to Jalmachand’s firm and the accounts of his family members. During the interrogation, he revealed that some bank employees were also involved in this scheme, and they had been working together for several years.

It was reported that the Dhariyawad branch manager, Prashant Kabra, embezzled ₹2 crore. The police are currently investigating how many customers were affected by this incident. It has been initially revealed that he embezzled funds from KCC accounts and some FDs. Further investigation will determine whether other employees were involved in the embezzlement.

Amit Kumar, the SP, stated that the police have arrested the bank manager in connection with the fraud committed against investors at the Dhariyawad branch. An SIT has been formed, and a special team, including the Dhariyawad SHO Peshawar Khan and the cyber cell, has been assigned under the guidance of SP Bhagchand Meena.

Meanwhile, Keshu Lal Meena, advocate for the Meena Society for Social Improvement, revealed that the Meena Society has submitted a memorandum to Tehsildar Ravindra Singh in the name of Collector Anjali Rajawat on Tuesday. It stated that ICICI Bank manager Prashant Kabra and other bank employees fraudulently approved loans by manipulating documents and maps traced with farmers’ fingerprints. The branch manager had kept people’s passbooks and checkbooks with him and breached the trust of the farmers. They demanded an investigation into the matter and action against the guilty employees, warning of a protest if their demands were not met.
