Two persons were arrested from Jharkhand for allegedly transferring money fraudulently from the bank account of a senior doctor at RML Hospital here to their own account, police said today.
Last month, Manish Rai, a BTech, and his associate Sawan Verma, a graduate, contacted Dr Dinesh Kumar, head of Pediatric Cardiology at RML Hospital, posing as a bank officer and got his credit card details by claiming that it has been 'blocked', said Ravindra Yadav, Joint Commissioner (Crime) of Police.
They then withdrew Rs 30,000 from his bank account and transferred to it their account at an SBI Branch in Jharkhand using an e-commerce website, the officer said.
Following the doctor's complaint, an investigation was initiated and the two accused were arrested on July 12 from Deogarh in Jharkhand, Yadav said.
It was found that the bank account in Jharkhand was opened in the name of Sawan. Manish used it in return for a commission to Sawan and his uncle Vishnu Pratap who was also involved in the fraud, the officer said, adding efforts are on to arrest Vishnu.
