The Central Crime Branch (CCB) sleuths have arrested the personal relationship manager of a private bank who had siphoned off Rs 37 lakh from a customer’s account. The accused Laik Imroz Ahmed (33), a resident of Koramangala 7th Block, is a native of Hyderabad and was working with Axis Bank’s Koramangala branch.

The CCB sleuths said a bank customer, Umadevi Nambiar of RMV Extension, had filed a case with Koramangala police stating that Rs 37 lakh in her bank account was misappropriated. She had stated that she had invested in mutual funds and it had given good returns. But without her knowledge, someone had withdrawn the cash. Ahmed used to identify customers who did not transact often. As Umadevi’s cash was in her account from a long time, he created a fake e-mail ID in her name and also some fake documents and sent a request to the bank for change of communication address. Later, he applied for a debit card and the bank sent it to the same address. After he got the card, he withdrew cash from ATMs from the complainant’s account. When she realised there was only Rs 5,000 in her account, she approached the police.

Based on the IP address of the fake e-mail ID which Ahmed had created, he was arrested, the CCB sleuths added. Koramangala police have registered a case.
