The Purkaji police have registered a case of fraud worth lakhs of rupees against a female bank employee of Punjab National Bank (PNB) on the orders of the court. The accused, identified as Mansi, a resident of Purva Ahiran in Meerut district, allegedly embezzled ₹36.89 lakh by misusing customer accounts.
How the Fraud Was Committed
According to the PNB Purkaji branch manager, Ajit Kumar Yadav, the fraud took place between October 21, 2022, and December 7, 2023. Mansi reportedly used multiple methods to steal money from customers’ accounts:
- She created a fake ATM card and used it to withdraw funds.
- She linked her personal mobile number to customer accounts, allowing her to gain access.
- She forged signatures on vouchers to process fraudulent transactions.
Discovery and Action Taken
When the fraudulent activities were discovered, the bank suspended Mansi in December 2023. Following an internal investigation, the bank approached the court to take legal action. On the court’s orders, the Purkaji police registered a case against her on Monday.
The police are now investigating the case further to determine if more people were involved and whether additional fraudulent transactions took place.
