Sbi Govindpur Dhanbad — Request for Immediate Action and Investigation - Case Against SBI for Supporting Fraudulent Activities

Address:State Bank of India - Govindpur is located at Jharkhand state, Dhanbad district, Govindpur city and the bank branch's address is [Govindpur, H By O Mo

To Whomsoever It May Concern,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a grave matter involving fraudulent activities facilitated by State Bank of India (SBI), which demands urgent attention and resolution.
On 7th October 2020, an unauthorized transaction took place in my ICICI BANK account (Account Number:[protected]. The funds( amount Rs. 45000) were illicitly transferred to an unknown Paytm account (Number: [protected]). Promptly reporting the incident, I filed a complaint with the Kasarvadavli, Thane police station, who, in turn, traced the funds to two accounts within the State Bank of India—Account Numbers [protected] and [protected].
On 8th October 2020, I visited the SBI branch located at Hiranandani Estate, Thane West, Mumbai, with the necessary police complaint and details of the fraudulent accounts. Following the prescribed procedure, an authorization letter was issued by the Branch Manager, Nupur Samantoroy (email id: nupur.[protected]@sbi.co.in), for the purpose of blocking the mentioned accounts and initiating the fund release process. This case was then transferred to the Govindpur Dhanbad branch, which is the home branch for fraud accounts.
Regrettably, despite all legal documents being in order, and despite the urgency of the matter, the funds(amount Rs. 45000) have not been returned to my account as of today, 13th Oct 2021. A subsequent visit to the Govindpur on 23th July 202branch in Dhanbad resulted in unfulfilled promises from the Branch Manager, who has failed to acknowledge the gravity of this situation and provide a resolution.
This alarming lack of action raises serious concerns about the integrity of SBI's procedures and the potential support of fraudulent activities within the bank. I find it completely unacceptable that, despite the cooperation of law enforcement and the submission of all required legal documents, my hard-earned money has not been returned.
In light of the above, I am formally requesting the initiation of a critical investigation against the SBI team involved in this case. It is imperative that swift and decisive action be taken to rectify this situation and ensure that justice is served. I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency and gravity it deserves.
I eagerly await your prompt response and resolution to this pressing issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Vandana

Hi Mam,
Thanks for the response.
Few corrections in the statement you made:
First thing, the fraudulent bank account branch is in Govindpur Coliery, Dhanbad
and not Patna.
Secondly, there has been no mention of OTP ever.
I hope you have shared the police Authorization Letter (in the format requested by
you) to the correct branch.
Please loop in the BM of Govindpur branch so that we can get a confirmation if
the letter has been received by them.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Vandana Sinha

Dear Madam,
As we have already discussed over phone and in person, the
account of the fraudsters does not belong to our branch. It belongs
to Govindpur Branch in Patna. Hence, we have no right to debit
account of non - home branch customer. We have forwarded your
mail to the concerned branch.
Moreover, Madam, your account is in ICICI Bank and the fraudsters
account is in other branch of SBI. Last time, when you approached
us stating that you have shared your OTP with the fraudster and
when you gave us the details of the accounts ( you found through
some sources ), we have put hold on both the accounts of Rs
65, 000/- on 08/10/2020 ( the day you gave us request ).
Also we have requested you to follow up with Bihar Branch along
with us.
We regret for all the inconvenience caused to you.

TO WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN
I would like to brief you regarding the fraudulent
transaction that happened from my ICICI BANK
account[protected] on 7th Oct ‘20 .
My hard-earned money was moved to an
unknown paytm account Number [protected].
I lodged a complaint on the same day to the
nearest Kasarvadavli, Thane police station. The
Police acted promptly and on 8th oct morning the
police were able to trace that the fund has been
moved from the mentioned paytm account to
multiple bank accounts - Two of them were in
State Bank of India (Ac
no [protected] and [protected]).
As instructed & guided by local police I went to
the SBI nearest branch on (8th Oct 2020 )@
Hiranandani Estate Thane West, Mumbai. With
the help of police complaint and account details

of the fraudster shard by them, I request blocking
of the mentioned account. Following which the
Police handed over the authorisation letter based
on desired format proposed by BM of SBI
hiranandani estate branch[Name – Nupur
Samantoroy, email id –
nupur.[protected]@sbi.co.in] for releasing the
fund to my account, however that has not been
done even till date (15/02/2021).
I have also lodged complaint with cybercrime
dept.
This is completely unacceptable from SBI BM
Thane that even after all the required legal
documents are in place, why has my money still
not returned to me and why is the BM of SBI
Thane failing to acknowledge and understand
the severity of this issue.
Requesting SBI team to act promptly, release the
hold from the mentioned SBI bank account
numbers and transfer the funds back to my
account.
Thanks & Regards,
