Digital Desk: A shocking incident has unfolded at Canara Bank in Duliajan, where cybercriminals targeted the bank account of Narayan Pathak, a retired Oil India Limited (OIL) employee and a resident of Duliajan's 2 No. Mahamari village.
The cybercriminals managed to siphon off nearly eight lakh rupees from the account of Narayan Pathak in a brazen act of cyber fraud.
The victim became aware of the theft on Thursday when he visited the bank to withdraw money, only to find out that a substantial amount had already been stolen.
Interestingly, the criminals later deposited Rs 86,000 back into his account, adding to the confusion.
Shocked and distressed by the incident, Narayan Pathak lodged a formal complaint with the Duliajan police station and submitted a written grievance to the bank authorities.
However, allegations have surfaced that the bank authorities displayed a lack of empathy towards the victim.
Instead of taking immediate action, they merely assured an internal departmental investigation.
Adding to the controversy, accusations have emerged that the bank's management attempted to prevent journalists from covering the incident.
This has raised serious concerns about the security of customer accounts and the handling of cybercrime cases by financial institutions.
