Jaipur : 34 thousand rupees each came in the accounts of Baroda Rajasthan Regional Rural Bank located in Manohar Thana town of Jhalawar district of Rajasthan. 34 thousand rupees each were sent by mistake to about 9000 bank accounts of this bank. That is, about 30,60,00,000 crore rupees came in 9000 accounts. At the same time, after the arrival of this money, all the accounts were first frozen. But later, by taking a bribe of 8000 rupees through the bank business correspondent, about 2500 bank accounts were removed from the freeze and the 34 thousand rupees each that came by mistake was given to the bank account holders. That is, an amount of 8,50,00,000 has been embezzled through 2500 accounts. This game went on for about one and a half months. But when the matter gradually came to light, the people whose accounts were frozen started complaining about it. After the complaint, the District Collector has now issued orders for investigation. Along with this, letters have been written to 7 district collectors including Tonk, Jaipur, Alwar and Nagaur seeking information in the matter. From where the money came in these accounts.
Games being played in the name of investigation
Every day new officers are coming to take the statement of the victim in the case of opening the account by taking a bribe of Rs 8000 per account through the bank business correspondent. But no result is coming out in the name of action. The villagers allege that efforts are being made to save the accused bank manager and bank BC Nandram in the investigation. While some videos of the statements of the victims have surfaced in which people are clearly accusing the officer of opening a closed account by taking money. At the same time, no action has been taken against BC Nandram till now.
false statements being made
It is also alleged that to influence the investigation, the accused are calling some people to the bank or gathering them in the village and getting statements made that the money was not taken. It is also not being checked whether the person giving the statement is an account holder of the bank or not. The funny thing is that the investigating officer is taking statements of those who are not complainants. The people giving statements are those whose accounts have been closed and then opened and those who have bribed the bank BC. Whereas those whose accounts are still frozen are not being talked to.
Now banks are open till midnight and money is being deducted from accounts
About 4 months after the money came into the accounts, now the bank is deducting the entire amount from the accounts and the work of deducting money from the accounts is being done at midnight. The messages of which have started coming to the account holders from midnight on Wednesday. Bank sources say that all those accounts which were closed after the money came and were not activated by the account holders. Now the work of deducting money from those accounts has been started. Now the biggest question arises here that how did the bank management remember to deduct money back from the accounts. Whereas on May 15, 2024 itself, the bank had received a letter from the Tonk District Collector in which it was written to get the amount wrongly refunded. The deduction of money from the accounts by the bank management after one and a half months of receiving the letter raises questions on the intentions of the personnel there.
What will happen to those accounts from which people have withdrawn money
Now that the bank management has started deducting the Rs. 34,000 deposited in the closed accounts, a big question has arisen that those approximately 2500 accounts which were wrongly closed and opened by taking Rs. 8000 each and the money was withdrawn from the accounts and given to the account holders. What will happen to the money deposited in those accounts? How will it be recovered now? The bank management or the investigating officers do not have any answer to this question at the moment. Anyway, the matter of transaction of Rs. 34,000 each in Baroda Rajasthan Regional Rural Bank is definitely pointing towards a big scam. At the same time, even the administrative officers are not taking serious cognizance of this matter till now.
