A sum of nearly Rs 1 crore was duped by some officials of Canara Bank here thanks to their unholy nexus .The matter has come to the fore after police started a preliminary inquiry on the FIR of an account holder of the bank.
According to Kendrapada Town police station IIC Sanjeev Kumar Mohanty, one Satyajit Das of Santasahi who was an account holder at Kendrapada-based Canara Bank, lodged an FIR alleging that he had taken a loan amount of Rs 7 lakh.
