An employee of a private bank has been arrested for allegedly duping a bank customer by transferring her money into his personal account after obtaining her password.

An FIR was lodged in this respect at the Vasant Kunj (North) police station on the basis of a complaint filed by Kotak Mahindra Bank. A senior police official said the accused Raj Kumar is an employee of the bank.
“One Mrs Bhagwanti M. Thandani complained to senior bank officials that one day she called the bank to know her account balance. Raj Kumar who picked up the call asked her password. She gave her password to Raj Kumar. She alleged that using the password Raj Kumar made several online transactions and transferred `3,70,000 into his HDFC Bank account,” said the police official.
The official said the bank found Raj Kumar guilty in departmental inquiry and decided to approach the police. “Raj Kumar confessed that he cheated the bank customer. He also transferred money into the account of one Mithlesh Rana,” said the police official.
The accused Raj Kumar has been working with the bank for past three years. The police said that Mithlesh will also be called to join the investigation.
“An FIR under Sections 420 (cheating) and 419 (impersonation) was lodged against Raj Kumar on the basis of the complaint filed by Sameer Chaturvedi, the branch manager of the bank. We are also probing the role of other bank employees in the matter,” said the police official.
