Bank officer held for 27L fraud
He was arrested in Agra where he was posted as branch manager at Indian Bank, Holipura.
EOW said that the case dates back to 2006, when Anuragi served as retail banking officer at the Allahabad Bank branch in Atarra, Banda. He along with other officials allegedly opened two fraudulent accounts using forged documents and IDs.
Similar fake accounts were opened in Union Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Central Bank of India and Bank of Baroda.
Using these fake accounts, chequebooks were issued and account payee cheques were deposited at Allahabad Bank's Atarra branch. Courier stafffalsely cleared these cheques, allowing payment of large sums. Investigations revealed that the original accounts held only nominal balances (as little as Rs 1,000–2,000), yet multiple high-value cheques were cleared.
This coordinated fraud led to the illegal withdrawal of around Rs 27 lakh from Allahabad Bank's Atarra branch, causing significant financial loss.
