Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Economic Offence Wing (EOW) has submitted charge sheet into a fraud case registered against Union Bank of India officials posted in Mandla, officials said on Saturday.
The EOW Bhopal unit had registered case against bank officials on August 25, 2020. It was alleged that the officials siphoned off Rs 14.74 lakh from the account of four depositors with help of recovery agents.
A complaint was made by Satish Patel, resident of Dhansour in Seoni district that the bank manager Raghvendra Pratap Singh, assistant manager Mukesh Adlak and agent Duregesh Bisen took out Rs 4.90 lakh.
