According to police, 34-year-old Sajila, a relationship manager attached to IDBI bank, Mission Road branch in Bengaluru is the arrested person.

The police have recovered Rs 23 lakh worth LIC bond and the computer used to commit the crime. The accused has been taken into police custody for further investigation.

Sajila, from Tamil Nadu, worked between June 2022 and December in the Mission Road Branch during which she had illegally transferred money to various bank accounts from customers' accounts.

Police explained that accused Sajila while working at Gandhinagar Branch in Bengaluru earlier had allegedly transferred Rs 2.90 crore from customers' accounts to her account. She had invested the money in LIC bonds. The case was lodged against her in Upparpet police station in Bengaluru.
