A bank cashier was accused of stealing deposits from customers, amounting to over Rs. 115 crore. The defalcated money included over Rs. 50 lakh from some women's self-help groups, or "shGs." The bank's regional office in Cuttack found serious irregularities by the cashier, including fraudulently stealing cash through online transfers from customers' accounts without their knowledge. The cashier was also accused of transferring money to the accounts of his friends and relatives. The bank said the cashier was placed under suspension in May 2022, and that depositors should not worry as their money is safe.
