Three men were arrested for unauthorised cash withdrawal in Zunheboto. The three were arrested on August 3 based on a complaint filed by a business firm in Zunheboto.
According to police sources, cash amounting to Rs. 55,000 was withdrawn from two different banks at Zunheboto on two occasions using pre-signed cheques allegedly without approval of the individual, who issued the cheques. Initially, an amount of Rs. 25,000 was encashed followed by withdrawing Rs. 30,000 on August 3. The cheques used to withdraw the money were reportedly pre-signed and kept by the proprietor for office use.
The cash was allegedly withdrawn by a woman, who was asked by one of the arrested persons to make the transactions. The woman was also detained by the police but was later released after she reportedly told the police that she had no inkling of the motive behind the withdrawal and only carried out a request to go to the bank and encash the cheques.
Subsequently, the three were arrested and a case registered under relevant sections of the IPC. The sources added that the three were under police remand while further investigation was on.
