The cases of credit card frauds do not seem to end. Following the recent case of an ING Vysya Bank employee, in partnership with others, duping the bank of crores, a case has been registered against a Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Chandigarh. Baldev Singh, who works as a cashier-cum-computer operator in the Kurali branch of PNB, has been remanded to police custody because of duping the bank to an amount of Rs 2 lakh. According to the investigating officer, Ravindar Pal Singh, the accused had first defrauded the bank of Rs 1.87 lakh; however, after he was caught, he duped 2 more customers to the tune of Rs 1.1 lakh to clear the bank’s liability.

The case had come to the Kurali police when the head of PNB, Chandigarh Circle, had lodged a complaint against Baldev on March 10. That day the bank had given Rs 8 lakh in cash to Baldev Singh to disburse payments as cashier-cum-computer operator. However, he had disbursed Rs 6,12,700 but failed to deposit back the remaining amount of Rs 1,87,300.

After the bank authorities had initiated an enquiry against the accused, he committed to the crime and agreed to pay back the defrauded cash.

However, on March 15, he once again siphoned off Rs 1,00,500 from the account of a customer, Balveer Singh. Further enquiry also revealed that he had duped another customer, Beant Singh, of Rs 10,000 as he withdrew Rs 15,000 from Beant’s account when the latter had come to withdraw Rs 5,000.
