A major fraud case has been uncovered at an HDFC Bank branch in Betul district, Madhya Pradesh. Several customers of HDFC Bank in Betul, Madhya Pradesh, have accused the bank’s employees of creating fake documents and stealing their deposits, possibly using the money for IPL betting.
At least six customers have filed complaints claiming their money was misappropriated through fraudulent transactions like fake credit cards, unauthorized online transfers, and fake cheques. Customers noticed missing money from their FDs, while others found their accounts emptied even though they had deposited cheques and cash. One customer reported that ₹5 lakh, which he had saved for his daughter’s wedding, disappeared from his FD. Now more customers are coming forward with similar complaints at the Betul branch.
When victims tried to file complaints at the local Ganj police station, their concerns were reportedly ignored. However, a complaint has been filed with the Collector’s office, which has promised an investigation. This isn’t the first time the HDFC Bank branch in Betul has faced claims of financial misconduct, but no serious investigations have been carried out so far.
The affected customers are demanding the return of their lost money and legal action against those responsible for the alleged embezzlement. The ongoing fraud has raised serious questions about the banking system. The situation has left many customers facing financial uncertainty, and there is increasing pressure on authorities to take action
