Bank dupes customers of Rs 4 crores, FIR filed by 400 account holders

Shillong, Nov 4: At least 500 account holders from Jaintia hills district have recently lodged FIRs against a private bank – Jeevan Suraksha Customers Committee (JSCC) for allegedly duping their money amounting to Rs 2 crores.

The decision to lodge the FIRs was taken at a meeting convened by the Tylli-i-Hun Ke Nongtalang Organization (TIHKNO) and Khasi Students Union – Nongtalang Unit (KSU-NU) with the account holders of the bank.

“The bank has duped people investing in their branch at Dawki of more than Rs 2 crores. People mostly from Amlarem sub-division in West Jaintia hills have invested in that branch,” TIHKNO general secretary Evan Pohchen said.

Informing that the matter has been taken up with the concerned authority for necessary actions, Pohchen said, “The SDO of Amlarem Sub-Division had advised us to immediately lodge an FIR against the company.”

The FIRs have been lodged with the Dawki Police Station for immediate action.

Earlier before lodging the FIR, members of the two organizations had met the branch manager of the JSGC – Dawki Branch in which they were informed that the matter was only made known to him on October 15 when they had gone to Guwahati – the head office to deposit the money collected from the customers of the bank, the general secretary informed.

Pohchen informed that the Dawki branch manager informed that the Rs 2 crores have been taken away without the consent of the bank authority by four officers of the JSG including the managing director Charan Das, chairman Arjoo Acharjee, general manager Uttam Acharjee and director Ashok Chakraborty.

The Dawki branch manager further informed that he along with his four other colleagues have even lodged an FIR against the four officers of the bank in this regard.

Meanwhile, the two organizations condemned the act to betray the people confidence by such company from outside. “We will fight till these people get back their money,” Pochen said even as he urged the concerned authority of the state to take the matter seriously and ensure that the people of the area are given back their money.-By Our Reporter
