In a shocking development, Prasenjit Roy, the manager of the UCO Bank Silpukhuri branch in Guwahati, was arrested on Friday night in connection with a land scam involving an elderly woman. The arrest came after Prabha Bhattacharya, the victim, filed a formal complaint with the police.
According to reports, Bhattacharya had used her land documents as collateral for a loan from the bank. However, Roy allegedly fraudulently claimed the documents as his own and transferred the property into his name. The crime branch launched an investigation, which led to Roy’s arrest.
The case has raised suspicions about the possible involvement of other officials, and the investigation remains open as the crime branch delves deeper into the matter. Authorities are focused on uncovering the full extent of the scam and ensuring that all those responsible are held accountable.
This incident highlights the vulnerability of elderly individuals in financial transactions and the potential for abuse of trust within financial institutions. The crime branch has assured that they will continue to investigate and pursue justice for the victim.
