The Co-operative Bank is dealing with a fraud issue that has caused significant concern in the local community. A large number of people gathered at the Nauhradhar Bank after hearing about the fraud and became disruptive. The bank officials were able to explain the situation, which helped to calm the crowd.
It is alleged that the assistant management committed fraud involving the fixed deposit (FD) amounts of several individuals. Some people had deposited large sums, ranging from 20 to 25 lakh rupees, into their FD accounts. However, their accounts show a balance of zero, despite holding FD bonds. Consequently, people are worried about losing the significant capital they have entrusted to the bank.
