Agartala, February 20 (HBTV): Tripura Police have launched a probe into a financial fraud case involving the embezzlement of Rs 82 lakh from the savings accounts of multiple customers at the Udaipur branch of HDFC Bank in Gomati District. 

According to reports, three customers of the branch found their savings missing under mysterious circumstances. Given the seriousness of the allegations, an Additional Superintendent of Police (SP) of Gomati District has been assigned to oversee the investigation, while the Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Udaipur has been designated as the Investigating Officer. 

SP Namit Pathak of Gomati District confirmed that four complaints had been filed so far. Three of them were lodged by female account holders Niyati Sarkar, Lopamudra Dey, and Sunita Datta, while the fourth complaint came from the bank manager. The bank’s higher authorities have assured full cooperation with the investigation. 

Initial findings suggest that the fraudulent transactions targeted accounts with infrequent financial activity, primarily belonging to retired government employees. 

“The Additional SP is closely monitoring the case, and the SDPO is leading the investigation. We are reviewing CCTV footage to determine if the perpetrators physically entered the bank for the fraudulent transactions. Some suspects have been named in the complaints and will be summoned for questioning. We assure the victims that a breakthrough in the case is expected soon,” said SP Namit Pathak. 

The police are actively working to uncover the culprits behind this financial fraud and bring them to justice.
