Madhya Pradesh: Private bank’s office locked, consumers cheated of crores of rupees
In Ashok Nagar of Madhya Pradesh too, consumers’ money worth crores has vanished. A private bank in the area duped hundreds of people of crores of rupees. Now its office is locked. Consumers are wandering around to get their deposited money.
The matter was revealed when a businessman complained to the police. The businessman deposited lakhs of rupees in the last three years, but now neither the manager is available nor the bank’s collection agent is visible. Meanwhile, the police is talking about investigating the matter.
A big misdeed of Lustiness Janhit Credit Co-operative Society Limited, which is working as a private bank in Ashoknagar, has come to light. People kept considering this society as a bank and the employees lured the consumers with good interest on depositing money daily. Many people got trapped by this and deposited a lot of money. Now its office is locked. The manager and other employees have disappeared after cheating the consumers. Crores of rupees of people have vanished.
It is being told that Lustiness Janhit Credit Co-operative Society has been collecting money deposits in the city since 2016. Krishan Pal Yadav, a resident of Hinotia Foot village, who has a tea stall at the District Hospital crossing, lodged a complaint at the police station and exposed the crime.
In the complaint made to the police, it has been told that the employees of Lustiness Janhit Credit Co-operative Society advised him to deposit money daily in their bank and also lured him with interest on that deposit like the bank. With this, Krishan Pal Yadav opened two accounts, deposited Rs 1.80 lakh in one account by depositing Rs 500 daily for a year. In the second account also, he deposited Rs 3.08 lakh at the rate of Rs 400 daily. Later, they refused to return the money.
The complainant Krishan Pal Yadav says that 20 collection agents used to work in the city of Lustiness Janhit Credit Co-operative Society Limited, who used to collect money from shopkeepers and people daily. When he went to withdraw the amount after the completion of the time period of his one-year plan in October 2024, neither any collection agent nor the manager and other employees were available.
A big amount can be disclosed
The complainant Krishnapal Yadav says that not only his account, but many shopkeepers and people of the city had accounts opened in this bank. A fixed amount was deposited from them daily. Many people have already complained to the police station, but despite the completion of the time period, the amount has not been returned yet.
The complainant claims that in this way the bank has deposited a large amount of people in the city which can be in crores. The employees of this bank have already threatened everyone that if a complaint is made, the money will not be returned.
Meanwhile, according to Ashoknagar Kotwali in-charge Manish Sharma, a person has complained to us about his two accounts. We have asked him to collect other such people as well, so that the real information can be obtained. Investigation is being done on the complaint.
