An investigation is currently underway regarding a financial scam at an Indian Bank branch in Jasrana, located on Ghiror Road, Sarana. The incident involves a significant financial fraud of over ₹2 crore. The bank has formed an internal investigation committee to work alongside the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the matter. The committee is contacting customers who were affected by the fraud to gather information about the exact time they visited the bank.
The purpose of this investigation is to review CCTV footage and verify the deposits made by the customers. Some victims have had trouble recalling the specific time they visited the bank, which makes the investigation more challenging. However, the bank officials have acknowledged that some customers were indeed deceived and have reassured them that their money will be refunded.
Key Players in the Fraud: Former Branch Manager and Cashier Under Suspicion
The main accused in this case are Jaiprakash, the former cashier, and Raghavendra Singh, the former branch manager. According to the complaint filed by the zonal chief, Tarun Kumar Vishnoi, five individuals have already been arrested and sent to jail. Despite this, Raghavendra Singh, the former branch manager, remains at large. He is believed to be the mastermind behind the entire scam.
Investigation Process: Collecting Evidence and Assuring Victims
The investigation committee is gathering evidence by reaching out to the victims and asking them about the date and time they made their deposits. Once they have this information, they are reviewing CCTV footage to cross-check the deposits made by the customers. If the CCTV footage shows that a customer made a deposit, but the details are missing from the account records, the bank is promising to return their money. Many customers are struggling to recall the exact time of their visit, but the bank is still hopeful that they will be able to resolve the issue.
Statements from Local Authorities and Victims
Naveen Shivhare, the President of Vyapar Mandal, shared his experience, stating that he was defrauded twice. He mentioned that the fraud has been confirmed through CCTV footage, and bank officials have assured him that his money will be returned. Local Officer Amrish Kumar Singh confirmed that six people have been arrested in connection with the fraud, and evidence is being gathered from the bank. Raids are also being conducted to track down Raghavendra Singh, the former branch manager, who is still on the run. Singh is believed to be the main mastermind behind the scam.
Authorities are optimistic that the full details of the fraud will soon be revealed, and more arrests are expected as the investigation continues. The bank is working to ensure that all affected customers will be compensated for their losses.
