An employee of a BPO company in Bengaluru allegedly stole the personal data of a female colleague which he used to take a personal loan of Rs 2 lakh in her name without her consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"#FraudAlert:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The accused, Lokeshwar Sugumaran, is being sought by police. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was responsible for safeguarding mobile phones that employees deposit before entering the workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gave him open access to the devices of all employees stored securely in lockers under his supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this particular case, during working hours, he peeked at the pattern she entered to unlock her phone which he used to access her Aadhaar and PAN details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank\u2019s negligence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bank failed to conduct thorough verification and granted the accused a loan of Rs 2 lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It deposited the amount into a bank account he had opened under the woman\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woman remained oblivious<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman was unaware of this for nearly a year until she started receiving messages and calls asking for the loan\u2019s monthly repayment installment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she raised the matter in the office, Sugumaran came clean and assured her he would promptly resolve the matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However he failed <\/a>to do so and cut off contact with her, after which the victim approached the police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
