Patna: A man was arrested and sent to prison on Tuesday for refusing to return RS5.5 Lakh mistakenly credited by Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank to his account at the same bank in Khagaria District in March last year.
Ranjeet Das 30-year-old Bakhtyar Village under the Mansi Police Station in Khagaria District refused to return the amount as far as some notifications issued by the Mansi Bank branch because he said the money was sent by PM Narendra Modi.
A bank officer, with anonymous terms, said the watershed had returned a portion of the amount under the pressure of a senior bank official, but then refused to return the rest RS1,60,970.
Das tells the bank officials that he has spent the money.
“I am very happy when I receive a message on my cellphone that RS5.5 Lakh has been credited to my account.
It is a large amount for poor people like me.
I think the money has been sent by PM Narendra Modi as the first installment of the total RS15 Lakh He has promised to each individual during the election campaign in Bihar, “Das, a tutor with a profession, was reported to the investigator officer.
On August 17 this year, Mansi Branch Manager Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank, Satya Narayan Prasad, filed a quarter against the watershed with the Mansi police station and was looking for action against him.
Mansi Police Station Sho Deepak Kumar said the watershed was ordered below Section 406 (criminal violation of trust) IPC and sent prison.
Sho said bank officials tried to persuade the watershed to return the mistakenly credited money to his account, but he refused and said the money had been spent.
The bank has sent half a dozen notification to the DAS in the past year.
Sho, however, said damn on the bank section will also be checked.
The initial investigation revealed that the watersheds withdraw money from their accounts in different installments in three months.
If he survives guilty by the court, the defendant can be imprisoned for a time for up to three years or fine or both, a lawyer for Patna High Court practices, said Rajiv Ranjan Pandey.
