AALO, Aug 30: The West Siang police on Thursday arrested a bank official for unauthorized withdrawal of money from customers accounts. The accused Bikash Ranjan Hajong Ray is the Deputy Manager of State Bank of India, Aalo and a native of Tura in Meghalaya. Ray was absconding and evading arrest after two cases were registered based on complaints by two aggrieved customers of the bank.
West Siang District Police on August 29 after engaging sources and under close supervision of SP Aalo, arrested the accused who is the main accused of Aalo PS C/No-62/19 U/S-409/477-A IPC and Aalo PS C/No-70/19 U/S-12- B/403/409/34 IPC.
Earlier case was registered on 30th July on receipt of a written information at Aalo PS from one Smty Yanya Koje, 58, an employee at the General Hospital, Aalo, that on March 2nd this year, she had withdrawn a sum of Rs. 40,000 from her saving account. After few days on updating her passbook she was shocked to know that a sum of Rs. 4,00,000 has been withdrawn and debited from her account and some cash correction of Rs. 40,000 was also made.
After frequent inquiry at the bank by the informant, it was revealed that the unauthorized withdrawal of Rs. 4,00,000 (Rupees Four Lakh) was illegally made by one of SBI staff Bikash Ranjan Hajong Ray through the withdrawal voucher without her knowledge. She approached Ray requesting him to refund the money. On May 17th, an amount of Rs. 3,60,000 (Rupees, three Lakh sixty thousand) was re-credited to the informant’s account. However, on July 18th, the same amount was withdrawn and taken back without her knowledge by the same person.
Later, when she went to enquire into the matter, it was learnt that the accused had absconded without informing the bank authority of his whereabouts.
The second complaint has been made by another customer Markir Mayi of Aalo who alleged Ray of illegally transferring Rs. 2,20,000 from his SBI Account without his knowledge. DIPRO
