Cheque Fraud: Fraud is happening in Kaithal bank, cheques are disappearing

Banks and bank related work are no longer safe in Kaithal. Recently two serious fraud cases have come to light, in which the possibility of negligence or collusion of bank employees is being raised. Due to these cases, questions are being raised on the security system of banks and the working style of employees.

In the first case,

1. Rajkarn, a resident of Khurana Road, Kaithal, lodged a complaint with the local police station, in which he told that his bank account is in Union Bank located on Ambala Road. On April 30, he received a cheque of Rs 4 lakh from a person named Deepak, which he put in the cheque drop box of the bank. But the shocking thing came to light that someone took this cheque out of the box and removed the cross from it and on May 1, the amount was transferred from HDFC Bank to the name of some other person.
2. When Rajkarn contacted the bank, he was told that the cheque has been cleared, while no amount was deposited in his account. The attitude of the bank manager was also irresponsible, and he refused to solve the matter saying that he could not do anything. Rajkarn has termed this incident as a serious fraud and has demanded strict action against the culprits.

In the second case,

Punjab National Bank manager Pankaj Bakhetia filed a fraud case against unknown persons in Civil Lines police station. He said that three cheques of Amarjeet Chhabra firm, whose total amount was about 25 lakh rupees, were deposited in the bank by his clerk. 

After some time, a person came to the bank and took back all the three cheques, claiming to be from Amarjeet Chhabra's office. 

When the cheque amount did not reach the concerned persons, they contacted Amarjeet Chhabra. On investigation, it was found that the bank employees told that someone had taken back the cheques. After this, these cheques were stopped.

Meanwhile, the same person came to the bank again and tried to reduce the amount of the cheque of Rs 6.50 lakh to Rs 4.50 lakh, but the attempt failed due to a ban on cheque clearance. The accused fled from the bank. Police have registered a case and started investigation.

Both these cases have raised serious questions on the security system of cheques in Kaithal banks and the working style of bank employees. 

Police will have to investigate these cases thoroughly so that the culprits can be caught and such incidents can be prevented in future.
