Kolkata: A man from Rishra has been arrested on Friday in connection with an investigation into the alleged opening of a bank account at a Rajarhat branch in another person’s name using forged documents.Investigators claim that financial transactions worth around Rs 24 crore were carried out through the account.The case was initiated following a court complaint filed by Manojit Biswas (36), a resident of Shulka Durgapur in Gopalnagar, Bongaon. “While submitting documents related to my income tax returns, I discovered that an income tax return had already been filed in my name for a firm called MB Tradecon India,” Biswas said.Biswas subsequently informed the bank and the police that he had never opened the account and alleged that someone had fraudulently used his name and PAN number to open it. “Photographs on Biswas’s PAN card and voter identity card had been altered. The modified documents were submitted to complete the bank’s KYC process and operate the account,” said an officer said.Citing the ongoing probe, police did not disclose the accused’s name.
