A staggering 33 lakh rupees had been deposited into the account of a volunteer organization. Subsequently, the amount was withdrawn. Who deposited such a large sum into the account? And who withdrew it?
These questions had been troubling a volunteer organization in the Kanksa police station area. Eventually, suspicions arose, leading representatives of the volunteer organization to file a complaint at Kanksa police station. Delving into the investigation, Kanksa police arrested Shahid Nawaali Mithaiwala from Mumbai and Pradeep Kumar, a resident of Uttar Pradesh.
During interrogation of the detainees, investigators have obtained the names of four more individuals. A search operation has been initiated to locate them.
On September 28 and 29, over these two days, the accused fraudulently acquired and deposited 33 lakh rupees into the account of the Kanksa-based volunteer organization. They subsequently withdrew the amount. On Monday night, police arrested two young men from a hotel in the Kanksa police station area. The two arrested youths had been staying at the Kanksa hotel for nearly 15 days.
Sources reveal that the accused had swindled the money from Dubai. However, the motive behind depositing the funds into the volunteer organization's account is still under scrutiny. On Monday night, police summoned representatives of the volunteer organization to the station for questioning. After a preliminary investigation, police suspect that the amount involved in the transaction may be even higher than 33 lakhs. Suspicious of the two youths' movements, the hotel owner informed the Kanksa police station. Subsequently, police arrived and detained the two young men, taking them to the station. They were arrested following interrogation.
Abhishek Gupta, DC (East) of Asansol Durgapur Police Commissionerate, Durgapur, stated, “We are investigating which organization or individual the miscreants had swindled the money from”.
