GUWAHATI: Police on Friday detained the branch manager of the Bank of Baroda’s Dispur branch along with three employees for questioning in connection with a case where over Rs 76 lakh was siphoned off from the account of the Dispur College.
Harmeet Singh, commissioner of police said the amount was siphoned off from the bank account by cheque fraud. He added that police have already got few leads in the case and have started quizzing the bank officials in connection with the case. “Everyone in the chain will be interrogated,” he said, while refusing to comment more. The principal of the college, Navajyoti Borah, on Thursday claimed that he received an email on Wednesday from the branch about the transaction of the said amount to an NGO that has an account at Union Bank of India’s Bara Nagar branch in North-24 Parganas in West Bengal.
