Bank of Baroda Staffer Accused of Diverting Rs. 7.93 Lakh to Personal Account

Vadodara police have registered a case against a Bank of Baroda employee for allegedly misappropriating Rs. 7.93 lakh from the bank.
The accused, identified as Sandip Chauhan, was working at the MS University branch when the incidents took place.

Suspicious Transfers Detected

According to investigators, between 2022 and 2024, Chauhan is suspected of making multiple transfers from the bank’s parking account into another account
opened under a different name. This account was later found to be linked to his mobile number.

Fraud Monitoring Alert

The matter surfaced in July last year after a transfer of Rs. 3.85 lakh raised red flags in the bank’s fraud monitoring system.
When questioned, Chauhan claimed the transaction was a mistake and returned that specific amount.

Further Probe Reveals More

Further checks revealed that similar transfers had been made earlier. In December 2024, Chauhan was suspended from service and the police were notified.
Authorities say Rs. 4.07 lakh from the total amount is still unrecovered.

Investigation Continues

Police investigations are ongoing, and additional details may emerge as the case progresses.
