Pune Crime News | Bank relationship manager cheats retired engineer of Rs 1.65 crore
Pune : Pune Crime News | an Imperia relationship manager (RM) of HDFC Bank misappropriated around Rs 1.65 crore by winning the trust of a retired engineer and his wife. He transferred money to various accounts from their account and cheated them.
Suvarna Gupte (49), a resident of Singapore, lodged a complaint at the Deccan Gymkhana police station. The police registered a case against Akash Singh Suresh Singh Rana, a resident of Baner, hailing from Madhya Pradesh.
According to the police, the complainant’s father was an engineer. He retired in 1996. The complainant and her sister settled abroad after their marriages. The complainant’s father suffered from pneumonia in April 2017. His wife found it difficult to deposit money quickly. She thought of diversifying their savings to get a guaranteed income monthly. She contacted the Bhandarkar road branch of HDFC Bank. The bank appointed Rana as their RM. Rana induced them to transfer their money to mutual funds (MF) and unit linked insurance schemes from shares. This caused a long-term loss to the complainant’s father.
During the lockdown, Rana took the entire control of their account. He made them take a loan on their MF overdraft account and invested hugely into the equity market. The complainant’s father passed away in November 2022. Then the complainant’s sister arrived from America. She checked the financial deals of her father and found several anomalies. Thus, the misappropriation was exposed.
Rana had diverted funds to the account holders, who were not in any way directly associated with her father. Rana had transferred a huge amount from their overdraft account. Rana took bank details such as netbanking pin, ATM pin on the pretext that they were needed for bank work and transacted using their cheques and withdrew cash, thus he misappropriated over Rs 1.65 crore.
Economic offences wing (EOW) API Vishwanath Todkari is investigating the matter.
