A major scam has been uncovered at an Indian Bank branch on Fariha Road in Jasrana, where large sums of money have gone missing from several customers’ accounts. The bank manager has also been missing for several days, raising more concerns.
On Friday, frustrated customers arrived at the bank to demand answers and caused a scene. The situation quickly escalated, and the police had to be called to manage the crowd. To address the issue, the bank has set up additional counters to investigate the missing funds in the affected accounts.
One of the customers, Rajiv Gupta from Mohalla Majhoa, had deposited ₹20 lakh into his account after selling his family’s ancestral house. He withdrew ₹12 lakh, but the remaining ₹8 lakh was missing. When he inquired about the missing funds, he was told that his checkbook had been taken by the bank employees because it was “damaged.”
Another customer, Meera Devi from Salempur, had deposited ₹5 lakh in the bank to save for her daughter’s marriage. However, she found that the money was missing from her account. Meera currently lives in Punjab and is unable to understand how her deposit vanished.
Shivam Gupta, a local businessman, has also complained about the situation. He claims that bank employees often kept the cash for themselves, using the excuse that there was a connectivity issue. He has a deposit slip as proof, but his account shows no money.
The bank’s management has launched an internal investigation into the matter. Meanwhile, the police have officially recorded the complaints from the affected customers. The situation has become even more serious with the bank manager’s disappearance, which adds to the mystery and urgency of resolving the case.
All the banks have stopped recruiting fresh staff to show more profit. On the contrary reduction in staff strength increased more numbers of fraud resulting in huge loss and getting bad name from the public. Further inspection reports are given scant respect and it’s done as a formality..
Quality of staff has come down and the clever work force do frauds not in lakhs but in crores. By the time the fraud surfaces, lots of money is siphoned and in many cases to countries. Unless sufficient manpower and system is followed frauds cannot be brought down but on the other hand it can be minimised/brought under control.
Eventhough the transactions are double entry system,one enter the transaction and another authorise the entry..unless the officer and Manager OR clerk and Officer are collision in transaction fraud is possible..Any Customer money is well protected and the culprits should punished and dismissed from services…
Shortage of staff has led to all these type of issues because cross checking cannot be done. And the overburdened staff tends to trust other colleagues with their passwords in order to to get the days work done in time, which leads to such scams.
