Billyground, Jan 16: Mrs. Rina Sutradhar w/o Mr. Samir Paul, a resident of Joypur, Middle Andaman opened a SBI Savings Account at Rangat Branch long back.
Mrs. Rina Sutradhar, an Anganwadi worker at Joypur under Grampanchayat Harinagar in Middle Andaman, recently went to SBI Rangat Branch to withdraw some amount but to her utter shock, she found that her account has nil balance.
Panic Stricken Mrs. Rina Sutradhar immediately collected her mini statement from Rangat Branch ATM counter, after which she came know that Rs. 2,40,000/- (Rupees two lakhs forty thousand ) has been withdrawn by some unknown person through her ATM Card from various cities without her knowledge.
According to Mrs. Rina Sutradhar she never shared her ATM PIN Number with anyone.
Thereafter she immediately informed the matter to the authorities at SBI Branch Rangat, Middle Andaman. SBI officials informed her that until she lodges an FIR at PS Rangat, they won’t be able to help her.
According to Mrs. Rina Sutradhar she faced huge problems in lodging FIR at PS Rangat but after intervention of the MP finally an FIR was lodged at PS Rangat.
This is not the first such case in Andaman, recently many such cases are being reported in which money has vanished from Bank Accounts without even sharing of ATM PIN. This is high time the Andaman and Nicobar Administration must hold special meetings with Police and Bank Officials and find out possible solution to this kind of frauds. If necessary series of advisories must be issued for the Islanders so that no one else suffers loss due to fraud transactions.
