A case of fraud amounting to Rs 2 lakh has been reported in the Kurali branch of the Punjab National Bank (PNB) involving a cashier-cum-computer operator. According to the investigating officer, Ravindar Pal Singh, the accused, Baldev Singh Kurali, first defrauded the bank of Rs 1.87 lakh; but when he was caught, he duped 2 customers of Rs 1.1 lakh to clear the bank’s liability.
The head of PNB, Chandigarh Circle, lodged a complaint with the Kurali police that the bank had given Rs 8 lakh in cash to Baldev Singh to disburse payments as cashier-cum-computer operator on March 10. He disbursed Rs 6,12,700 but failed to deposit back the remaining amount of Rs 1,87,300.
The bank authorities initiated an enquiry against the accused and he agreed to pay back the defrauded cash.
However, on March 15, he siphoned off Rs 1,00,500 from the account of customer Balveer Singh. He also duped another customer, Beant Singh, of Rs 10,000 as he withdrew Rs 15,000 from Beant’s account when the latter came to withdraw Rs 5,000.
