₹26.14 lakh bank fraud uncovered at Canara Bank
Ferozepur, February 16, 2025: A fraud amounting to ₹26,14,669.19 has been uncovered at Canara Bank’s Guru Har Sahai branch, following a complaint lodged by bank manager Kanhaiya Lal.
As per the investigation, Lucky Garg, son of Rajinder Kumar, a resident of Plot No. 03, Block N, Abika Avenue, was posted at the branch in 2023. He allegedly misused his banking ID (661481) and, in collaboration with other bank employees, changed registered mobile numbers of account holders without their consent. This enabled unauthorized mobile banking access, leading to the transfer of funds to multiple individuals.
A case has been registered under IPC sections 409, 419, 465, 467, 468, and 471, along with IT Act provisions (66, 66D, 66C). Further investigations are in progress with Jagdip Singh, IO.
