Through the loan, the accused picked up an amount of Rs 1, 52, 00,300. The accused, just to avoid any suspicion by the bank, paid around Rs 25 lakhs. Upon payment of the same, all the accused’s accounts became Non-Performing Assets (NPA).

Bank manager Chandan Kumar Vinodanand Jha (33) lodged a complaint with the police after it was clear that the accused had looted the bank by a total of Rs 1,24,54,589.

The TMC has ensured it has additional stock of oxygen concentrators, testing kits, medicines, to name a few. Bangar told HT, “Due to the increasing number of Covid patients, it is necessary for everyone to be alert.”
He added, The number of Covid tests should be increased to stay one step ahead of the disease. As a result, the number of patients is likely to increase due to increased testing.

At the same time, more arrangements for testing will be made immediately in public places, markets, railway stations, malls.”
