Two persons have been arrested for allegedly transferring Rs 1.8 cr from an industrialist's account to another using forged signature in neighbouring Bijnor district, police said today.
In this connection, Assistant Bank Manager of Oriental Bank of Commerce Satender Kumar and his accomplice Kunal, a resident of Delhi, were arrested yesterday, Superintendent of Police Sarvan Kumar said.
