Jamshedpur, March 30: Police here arrested Kirti Chand Khalkho, manager of Punjab National Bank, Sakchi branch, for allegedly withdrawing Rs 18.9 lakh from the account of a Golmuri-based couple by using forged cheques.
Police said the said amount was withdrawn from the Sakchi branch of PNB on 13th March last. Cops had taken the branch manager in custody on the very next day of cash withdrawal on the complaint of Kuldeep Kaur and Bhagwant Singh of Refugee Colony, Golmuri.
According to police, the accused branch manager, a native of Doranda, Ranchi, had flouted basic norms of cheque withdrawals during the cash withdrawal. As per norms, the bank officials call the bank account holders on receiving their cheques of Rs 2 lakh and above. But no call was made by the bank manager or any other staff to Kuldeep Kaur and Bhagwant Singh before allowing the cheque, police said.
Cops said the bank manager’s role was highly suspicious in the said transaction.
