Early Times Report
RAJOURI, Nov 3: Jammu and Kashmir Bank (JKB) officials have ordered a probe into the alleged theft of Rs. 2 crore from Jawaharnagar branch of the bank.
Authorities came into action only after some account holders of the bank brought the matter into the notice of higher officials. However, sources said that despite knowing sensitivity of the issue, authorities remained silent for several months and preferred not to register any FIR with the police over this issue.
Sources said that at least Rs two crores of cash had been drawn from Jawaharnagar branch of Jammu Kashmir Bank in border district Rajouri in the name of fake personnel consumer loans and other type of loans. The matter came to light when some government employees came to know that amount in Lakhs has been drawn from the bank in their names as PCL for which they had never applied.
Sources disclosed that the local bank authorities knew this matter much earlier but they kept criminal silence and tried to settle the matter but all in vain because nobody agreed to deposit such a huge amount in the bank. Sources affirmed that the matter became public a month ago after some account holders learnt about the development.
Authorities accepted reality and ordered a probe on July 19, 2011; findings of which are awaited. At that time, Deputy General Manager (DGM) of the bank headquartered at Rajouri when contacted had confirmed the report and assured that action would be taken against the culprits but only after findings of the probe committee are available.
However, the DGM had refused to divulge the details of the exact amount missing from the bank saying that it all would be shared only after the completion of the investigations. He also avoided the question that why they kept silence for a long period of time and didn't report the mater to police.
More than four months have passed the investigation was started, but authorities are silent over the issue saying that the amount has been settled, but refuse to divulge the details of the probe. Sources said that the matter was still pending and no amount has been deposited back and it has been settled time on give and take formula.
