According to Kalupur Police, complainant Harigiri Goswami, PSI of Kathlal Police Station said Goswami and his two brothers received a letter from the cooperative bank on May 10.
He was shocked to see that the letter had the mention of a bank account with transaction worth lakhs on their names, whereas they never had an account in the cooperative bank.
Goswami then filed a complaint with Kalupur police against an unidentified person for operating an account on his name.
The Kalupur Police Station PSI and Investigating Officer of the case MA Pathan told Mirror that Jigar Thakkar(30) director of the bank opened four bogus accounts in his bank.
Thakkar blatantly forged signatures of Goswamis and others to carry out shady transactions. According to police, Thakkar had transacted more than Rs 40 lakh through the bogus accounts.
The accused is the resident of Dhaneswer Apartment in Navrangpur. Pre-empting his arrest Thakkar obtained a stay, which was vacated on August 27.
However, the police arrested him on Friday. “We are probing as to why Thakkar opened multiple fraud accounts? And we are also trying to find out sources for transaction of Rs 40 lakh,” said Pathan.
