The relationship manager of a multinational bank is under the scanner after she fraudulently transferred and withdrew nearly Rs 67.20 lakh from the bank accounts of an 80-year-old woman living alone in Bandra. The police have lodged an FIR against the manager but have not yet arrested her. The police said that after the victim’s husband died, her two children, who live in California, arranged for a help to look after her. The police said she had about Rs 93 lakh in her three bank accounts, and her sons also send money for her day-to-day needs.

Manager assigned

The police said due to her old age and illness, she could no longer go to the bank, and as per her children’s request, the bank had appointed a relationship manager, Reshma Mandal, for her. Mandal’s duty was to go to her home from time to time, and withdraw money from the bank and give it to her as per her needs. This April, the victim’s health deteriorated and she was admitted to a hospital in Bandra for treatment. In need of money, the police said, she called her sons.
