BoM sanitary worker held in Rs58.95L fraud

Nagpur: Sakkardara police arrested Vipin Kashyap (30), a temporary sanitary worker of Bank of Maharashtra, New Subhedar Layout, on charges of duping as many 20 account holders to the tune of Rs58.95 lakh.
Preliminary probe revealed that Kashyap used to help account holders and customers coming to the bank by giving and filling forms. The account holders usually mistook him to be a bank employee.
The fraud came to fore after some account holders brought anomalies to the notice of bank manager Piyush Bhagirathram Dhote (35). “Between November 2021 and December 2022, Kashyap filled the required form for fixed deposits of account holders coming to the bank, and after obtaining the signatures of account holders, deposited the money into the account of people who knew him and transferred the amount to the account through RTGS,” revealed the inquiry carried out by the bank.
Later, Kashyap reportedly issued fake fixed deposit certificates to account holders, police said. “The accused cheated a total of 20 account holders and diverted Rs58,95,000 from their accounts to account holders known to him and later withdrew it from the accounts,” said the police.
Sakkardara police have arrested him under sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC and are probing further.
