During the investigation, it was found that the engineer of the maintenance company Seetaram Tiwari transferred Rs 41.19 lakh in 260 transactions. The amount was sent to accounts of his friends, relatives and also to accounts of certain bank employees.
Tiwari was incharge of maintaining CDM from June 12, 2014, to October 21, 2016. It was during this period that the engineer transferred the amount with help of bank employees.
