In a shocking incident at a bank in Nagpur, a man stole a cheque left unattended on the counter, filled it out in his name, and withdrew Rs 2 lakh. The theft was only discovered when the customer, upon realizing the funds were missing, reported the matter to the bank.
Police investigations have revealed that the crime was carefully planned. The accused, who appeared to be observant, took advantage of the opportunity when the cheque was left on the counter. He filled in the cheque with his details and forged the customer’s signature. To make the withdrawal, he presented a fake identity card, successfully deceiving the bank staff.
This incident has raised serious concerns about the vigilance of the bank’s employees. The police are currently reviewing CCTV footage to identify the perpetrator.
The police responded quickly after being informed of the incident, and an investigation was launched. Initial findings suggest that the accused was not a known customer of the bank. Authorities are working to track down the suspect using the bank’s CCTV footage and additional cameras in the area.
Both the police and the bank have issued advisories to customers, urging them to be cautious with their cheques and other valuable documents. They stressed the importance of reporting any suspicious activity to bank staff immediately.
The incident has caused concern among Nagpur residents, who are now calling for improved security measures at the bank. They are requesting better staff training to enhance vigilance and prevent similar incidents in the future.
