Bank Official's Shocking Heist: ₹24.65 Lakhs Embezzled from ATM

Alleged Embezzlement of ₹24.65 Lakhs from an ATM in Kalamb, Nahan District – A case of embezzlement amounting to ₹24.65 lakhs has come to light from an ATM located in the Kalamb industrial area, near the Nahan district headquarters. Surprisingly, the money hasn’t disappeared on its own; instead, an executive officer of a bank-affiliated company, the one who deposits money into the ATM, has been identified as the culprit. Currently, after a complaint was lodged by bank managers, the case has been registered at the Nahan police station.

Police have already recovered ₹7 lakhs from the accused in this case. The police are actively pursuing further actions in this matter. Notably, there are ATMs of various banks, including SBI, HDFC, in the Nahan district. The officer responsible for depositing cash into these ATMs would allegedly withdraw some amount before depositing cash for the second time.

This revelation came to light when the banks conducted an audit. It was revealed that there was a significant difference in the cash deposited into the ATM and the amount withdrawn by customers. The officer in charge would withdraw money before depositing it for the second time. This went on for several days. The money was withdrawn from the ATMs of SBI and HDFC banks.

When bank management filed a complaint, the accused, Deepchand, a resident of Ramadhaun, district Sirmaur, obtained advance bail from the High Court. As soon as the case was registered, the accused deposited ₹7 lakhs. Raman Kumar Meena, Superintendent of Police, Sirmaur, stated that a case has been registered based on the complaint of bank managers. The police are actively pursuing further actions in this matter.
