The Indore district court in Madhya Pradesh has sentenced a former cashier of a cooperative bank to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 50 lakh on him for embezzlement of the bank’s cash worth nearly Rs 51 lakh, reports Free Press Journal.
The court passed the order against the accused, Narayan Singh Makwana (62), observing that “embezzlement of bank money is a crime against the general public”.
The scam was detected in 2018. The court rejected the accused lawyer’s appeal for taking a lenient view of his accused’s crime.
