Rs 28 lakh siphoned from dead man's account in Thane

THANE: Kasarwadavali police booked three persons for siphoning over Rs 28 lakh from the account of a dead marketing manager's account of a private company. Police said that the case was registered after a complaint by his mother.
Police said Piyush Sharma, who resided in Ahmedabad, had an account with a private bank on G B Road of Thane city. "On September 21, 2021, when he was in Delhi, he suffered a massive heart attack and died," said a police officer. The deceased's father approached the bank on February 16, 2022. Being a nominee, his father sought the bank statement.
He found that from September 30, 2021, to April 22, 2022, Rs28.3 lakh was transferred to Kumar Deepak, Kumar D, Kumar Deep and Kumari Ras. Police had earlier refused to register a case, so the mother approached court, and on the directions of the magistrate court of P S Dhumal of section 156 (3) CrPC, the case was registered, said advocate Vaibhav Satam.
