Jayanta Saha, a police constable associated with the Cyber Cell of R.K. Pur police station, was arrested in connection with the Udaipur bank scam on Tuesday night. The Rs 82 lakh fixed-deposit scam at HDFC Bank involved unauthorized withdrawals from customer accounts before maturity.
Saha was presented before the court on Wednesday, marking the second arrest made in this case. The first arrest was Abhishek Sarkar, the bank’s deputy manager, who allegedly misappropriated funds.
The police received complaints from three customers – Niyati Sarkar, Suniti Dutta Sen, and Lopamudra Homroy, all of whom reported unauthorized withdrawals of their fixed deposits. The bank itself also filed a complaint.
The investigation, led by SDPO Udaipur Nirman Das, revealed that the misappropriated funds were deposited into various bank accounts, implicating multiple individuals in the fraudulent scheme.
