Transactions totaling over ₹12 crore have been alleged from a businessman’s current account in the Jwalapur Kotwali area. It’s alleged that despite the account being closed, transactions worth crores of rupees were revealed in the bank statement. Police have filed an FIR against bank employees on court orders.
According to the police, Avneet Arora, a resident of Chhota Jogiwada, Moti Bazaar, Haridwar, stated in his petition to the court that a current account was operated in the name of his shop in Moti Bazaar Punjabi Beda at the Bandhan Bank branch on Jwalapur Road. In April 2025, he submitted an ATM card and checkbook along with a written application to the bank’s customer relationship officer, Ashu Kumar, to close the account. Shortly after, he was verbally confirmed that the account had been closed. He was shocked when he received the bank statement via courier on August 13, 2025.
It is alleged that between May 1 and June 26, 2025, approximately ₹12.14 crore was deposited in the account and approximately ₹12.12 crore was withdrawn, even though he had not made any transactions during this period. It is alleged that the mobile number and email ID linked to the account were also changed during this period, preventing him from receiving information about any transactions.
It is suspected that the branch manager and the concerned employee colluded in this transaction. It is alleged that when he visited the bank branch again on August 20, the employees misbehaved with him and threatened him with dire consequences if he complained. Kotwali in-charge Kundan Singh Rana said that an FIR has been registered in this regard. An investigation is underway.
