Special Operations Groups (SOG) of Rajasthan police arrested New Delhi-based Manpreet Singh Bhasin in connection with the multi-crore embezzlement of the bank.
He had made 92 fake identity cards, PAN cards to raise bank loans illegally.
He also faked identities to file income-tax return (ITR), ADG police (ATS and SOG), Umesh Mishra said, adding that the embezzlement committed by Bhasin is more than Rs 2 crore of the total Rs 16 crore, he said.
SOG of state police arrested Bhasin from Gandhi Nagar of New Delhi and he will be produced before the court tomorrow, police said.
