In a written statement, Amit Kumar, the manager of Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, clarified that their bank is registered with the Reserve Bank of India, with a branch located in Vikasnagar.
Ashish Tyagi, residing in Gram Musail, Landhaura Junardar, Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, serves as the Customer Relations Officer at the branch. The accusation against Ashish alleges that he, instead of depositing nearly three lakh rupees from 13 customers into the bank on different dates, spent the amount for personal expenses.
