What faith now will people&#8230; a person have in the banking system?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This all came into picture when a complain was filed by Meenakshi Kapuria (53) where she said that her relationship manager, Payal Kothari (27), broke her fixed deposits worth \u20b93 crore and transferred the money into fake accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, this money was moved into Kothari&#8217;s own accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, while all this was happening in the background, the complaint Kapuria claimed she did not receive any SMS or email alerts regarding these transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears that Kothari gained her trust by taking signed blank cheques as informed by Kapuria&#8217;s lawyer, Rizwan Siddiquee on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further Kothari promised Kapuria that the money would be invested in mutual funds, gold bonds, and other schemes that would earn more than fixed deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multiple Queries Raised During Hearings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Versova police were pressuring Kapuria to settle the issue with Kothari, said Siddiquee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, Kothari\u2019s bank accounts had been frozen, containing only Rs 30,000 as informed by the Prosecutor Kranti Hiwrale to the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kothari had been arrested \u201cthis morning,\u201d Hiwrale told the court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy does an arrest have to be made only when a complainant comes to the court? And you\u2019re (police) asking parties to settle the matter?\u201d Justice Mohite-Dere questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another person could also be arrested soon, Gedam responded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation had been handed over from PI Amol Dhole to Senior PI Gajanan Pawar, who would supervise the case, Gedam said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding, a departmental inquiry would be started for negligence, regarding the query of action against Dhole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, judges asked why Kapuria didn\u2019t receive transaction alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gedam responded that Kothari had changed Kapuria\u2019s mobile number and email address in the bank\u2019s records,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd that is why when the transaction was happening, the victim was not getting any kind of alerts.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is extremely serious,\u201d the judges remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, judges asked if the police had investigated the bank\u2019s role, adding, \u201cThey can\u2019t be allowed to go scot-free.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs there no accountability of any bank when money is siphoned off under their nose?\u201d Justice Mohite-Dere questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving ahead Justice Mohite-Dere commented, \u201cConsidering the manner in which the petitioner was cheated,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further ordered HDFC Bank\u2019s senior manager from the Lokhandwala branch or the Mumbai regional manager to join the case, along with the RBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding, \u201cThis can\u2019t be tolerated.
