⭕ Police Team from Bengal Reaches Maharashtra
Washim (Maharashtra): A four-member team of the West Bengal Police arrived in Karanja town, Washim district, on Saturday, creating a stir among locals. The team detained Asha Raut, manager of Prashik Gramin Credit Society, in connection with a cyber fraud case.
⭕ ₹41 Lakh Transferred into Account
Sources revealed that over ₹41 lakh was transferred into Raut’s Yes Bank account. The cyber police probe linked this to a complaint lodged at Howrah (Rural) Police Station, where a victim alleged lakhs of rupees were siphoned from his account in March. Investigations confirmed the funds were received in Raut’s account, with several lakhs further forwarded.
⭕ Earlier Notice Ignored by Accused
Last month, Kolkata Police served a notice to Raut, who had promised to appear in Kolkata after September 7. However, when she failed to cooperate, the Bengal Police, with help from Karanja Police, detained her on September 19. She was produced before the Karanja court and later taken to Kolkata under legal procedure.
⭕ Society Confirms Suspicious Transfers
Society director Ravi Ramteke stated that ₹17.6 lakh had been deposited in Raut’s account by an unidentified person. The Howrah Police have taken her on a transit remand for further questioning.
