The Delhi Police have ensured a speedy investigation in the case of a 54-year-old year Bengaluru woman whose FIR regarding a bank fraud was registered on June 14, six years after she first discovered the misappropriation of funds.
“The case was pending for many years. Investigation has just begun. I’ll try my level best to proceed further in this matter,” Sub-Inspector Rajesh Kumar, who is the investigating officer, told The Hindu on Saturday.
‘Want thorough probe’
Complainant Tara Rao had alleged that her Relationship Manager had siphoned off close to ₹70 lakh from her HSBC account in the first few months of 2011 when she was moving back to Bengaluru from Delhi after spending three years in the Capital. Ms. Rao said all she wants is “a thorough investigation”.
“I want to know what HSBC has to say. How can they explain forged cheques and signatures when I’ve given them evidence of forgery,” she said.
Ms. Rao also said that what has happened with her shouldn’t happen to anyone else. “I found out about the irregularities. Who knows with how many people this crime is being committed. The banks shouldn’t get away without a valid explanation,” she added.
