A bank employee is under arrest after he forged documents in the name of a senior police inspector and swindled Rs 32 lakh from an account opened by the Navghar police, which had money recovered in a cheating case 20 years back. For nearly 20 years not a single senior inspector paid attention to the account. The arrested accused, Vinod Singh, is employed by an outsourced company and is on contract with the bank. After his arrest on Tuesday he was sent to judicial custody.
On June 14, newly appointed Senior Inspector Duttaram Girap called Jayanand Rane, a constable looking after property seized in a crime, to have a review of properties seized in the past by cops. While checking the register, Rane saw the details of an account opened with Dena Bank (now merged with Bank of Baroda) in 2004, which had Rs 16.80 lakh recovered from an accused in a cheating case. Rane was shocked to find only Rs 32 in the account. A year before, Rane had updated the passbook and noted the account had Rs 32 lakh.
