An officer working as a relationship manager in a private bank in Pune committed a shocking act of cheating an elderly couple. It has been revealed that an amount of about 2 crores was withdrawn from their account. Deccan Police has arrested the accused in the case. He has also been remanded in seven-day police custody. The name of the arrested person is Akash Singh Suresh Singh Rana (age 34, originally from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, currently residing in Baner, Pune).
According to the police, the complainant is currently residing in Singapore and had made investments in India in the name of his parents. For this, he had trusted the bank's relationship manager. However, the accused Rana took advantage of this trust and defrauded the elderly couple financially. Between June 2018 and March 2023, taking advantage of the Covid pandemic and the difficulties faced by his age, the accused obtained their account details. After that, he misused a total of Rs 1 crore 65 lakh 82 thousand through online transactions, ATM withdrawals and physical cash withdrawals.
After the complainant arrived in India on May 28, he inspected the financial transactions of his parents. After that, the manager noticed that there was a wrong transaction of about Rs 51 lakh. After further investigation, the accused used this money for himself. He bought an expensive Audi car. After the matter came to light, the police have now seized the car.
