A shocking case of embezzlement amounting to Rs 1 crore 34 lakh has surfaced in the Syana Kotwali area of Bulandshahr. The scandal involves a mini bank operator accused of defrauding both the customers and the bank itself. The zonal manager of Oxygen Services India Private Limited has filed a complaint against the operator, leading to an official investigation by the Kotwali police.
Villagers Raise the Alarm
Tensions have been high in the community as villagers allege that the mini bank operator linked to SBI did not deposit the amounts from their accounts into the bank branch. Instead, he reportedly absconded with the money, leaving the villagers in a state of panic and anger. The community has responded with protests, demanding strict and swift action against the accused.
Inside the Accusations
According to the zonal manager, the mini bank operator systematically collected money from customers but failed to deposit it into the bank, choosing to keep the funds for himself. This breach of trust has not only impacted individual account holders but also tarnished the reputation of the banking services provided by the firm.
Official Response
The police have registered a case against the mini bank operator, identified as Pramod Kumar. Kotwali in-charge Shailendra Pratap Singh has confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that higher officials have been briefed about the case.
The unfolding investigation will hopefully bring clarity and justice to those affected by this significant breach of trust. The community awaits further updates as the authorities dig deeper into the matter.
