KOLKATA: The Bidhannagar cyber cell on Wednesday nabbed an employee of a private bank for allegedly siphoning Rs 3.2 crore from a Baguiati-based customer and redirecting the money into eight accounts. The accused had changed the phone number and email ID of the victim, then residing in Chennai, before committing the crime. Cops said the Calcutta High Court had rejected Bappaditya Biswas’s anticipatory bail and the accused was sent to police custody for two weeks.
According to special public prosecutor and cyber expert Bivas Chatterjee, when the victim stopped receiving alerts after Biswas changed the contact details linked with her Kaikhali branch account, Biswas teamed up with Samiran Saha and stole the money. When the bank found out, Biswas was suspended.
The first arrest in this case was Saha who was caught in Sodepur last September.
