It took three months for a nationalised bank to find out that 150 welcome kits, meant for new account holders, were delivered to the same address at Nalasopara East. The bank lodged a complaint with the police, following which a team of officers from unit 3 of Mira Bhayandar crime branch raided the flat on Friday and arrested a 36-year-old man and seized 93 welcome kits. The accused has been identified as Niranjankumar Singh, a resident of Nagindas Pada Nalasopara East.

According to police sources, the assistant administrator of the bank submitted a written complaint to the crime branch last week. The bank stated that in view of the lockdown, they made the process of opening new accounts and verification available online. The legal team of the bank noticed that 150 welcome kits for new accounts, which had different addresses, were delivered to the same address.
