MUMBAI, July 15 -- Three employees of a private bank have been booked by the police for allegedly siphoning off nearly Rs.30 lakh from the account of a deceased woman by forging documents and carrying out unauthorised online transactions. The accused have been identified as Rahul Panjwani, former head of the bank's Chowpatty branch; Abhishek Verma, and Ram Pal. According to the police, the trio allegedly withdrew Rs.30 lakh from the account of Vimla Patil between July and December 2025. Investigators said the accused forged Patil's signature on a Customer Request Form, changed the mobile number linked to her account, added a new email ID, and activated net banking on a mobile phone by setting a new password. The money was then transferred through online transactions.
