BOI Cashier Accused of Rs 11 Lakh Embezzlement in Patna

 

Naresh Kumar, a cashier at the Bank of India branch on Gardanibagh Kalibari Road, Patna, has been accused of embezzling Rs 11.7 lakh. The incident came to light after Kumar fled the branch on the pretext of going to the toilet. Following the discovery, the branch manager, Vandana Ranjan, lodged a formal complaint with Gardanibagh police, who registered a case on October 14.

According to the complaint, the incident occurred on October 9 when a customer approached the branch requesting a withdrawal of Rs 10 lakh.

In a sudden turn of events, Kumar told bank staff that he needed to use the toilet, leaving the keys to the cash cabin and cash safe behind. He then quietly fled the branch. Upon further inspection of the cash register, it was discovered that Rs 11.7 lakh were missing.

The police have launched an investigation, and the station house officer (SHO) confirmed that efforts are underway to track down the accused. “The case is under investigation, and the accused will be arrested once the inquiry is complete,” the SHO stated.

The incident has left bank staff and customers in shock, with authorities tightening security measures to prevent further such cases. This is a developing story and more details will be provided soon.

Every employee in a bank these days is a cashier, Sharma said, pointing out that the role of a cashier is one which demands a certain level of expertise.

“But fearing angry customers, employees from peon to a manager are working as cashiers, and they often make mistakes while dealing with the crowd which leads to their own financial loss,” Sharma said.
