The Cyber ​​Thana Police in Haryana’s Panchkula have arrested the HDFC bank manager in connection with a Rs 82 lakh ‘digital bust’ case. The suspect has been in custody for two days.

Police revealed that this amount was defrauded on the pretext of a ‘digital arrest’ and the entire amount was transferred to an HDFC bank branch in Rupana village in Muktsar tehsil of Punjab.

A resident of Sector-20, Panchkula, was robbed of Rs 82 lakh on the pretext of a ‘digital arrest’. Two people were previously arrested in this case.

During investigation, police discovered the involvement of HDFC bank manager, who is based in Rupana village. Investigating officer Sukhwinder Singh stated that the suspect will be interrogated while in police custody.

Singh further said that the complainant had alleged that he was threatened during a phone call and said, “Your money has been used in money laundering.” Singh said these calls were made from Delhi posing as a CBI officer and an IPS officer.

During this period, a total of Rs 82 lakh was deposited in 77 different bank accounts. The investigating officer said the money was also transferred to the HDFC Bank branch in Rupana village.

The investigation revealed that money had been withdrawn from the bank using three cheques, all made payable to a woman named Sunita.

CCTV footage from the bank shows a man named Mukesh withdrawing the money. The police then arrested Mukesh.

When questioned, Sunita claimed that she was neither aware of the opening of the account in her name nor had she visited the branch in question.

Further investigation revealed that all the checks had been cashed at HDFC Bank in Rupana. Moreover, analysis of the call records between the HDFC Bank manager and the suspect, Mukesh, pointed to a conspiracy between the two.

Police stated that the suspects named Karthik and Gora are absconding in the case and will be arrested soon.

Three suspects, including the bank manager, have been arrested in connection with this case. Police confirmed that the bank manager, Preet Indra, had been working at HDFC Bank for eight to nine months. The manager would have filled all the checks and withdrawn the money.
