GUWAHATI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two individuals in connection with a bribery case involving undue financial favors at Punjab National Bank (PNB), Dimapur. The arrested persons have been identified as Seiminthang Singson, the then Senior Manager of PNB, Dimapur, and Sanjit Chandra Dey, Proprietor of M/s Century Enterprises, Dhobinala, Dimapur.
According to official sources, a case was registered by the CBI on June 4, against both accused. The allegations state that Seiminthang Singson received an undue advantage of Rs 1 lakh, which was transferred directly into his bank account from the account of Sanjit Chandra Dey. In exchange, Singson allegedly facilitated the extension of a Cash Credit Limit of Rs 20 lakh to Dey's company, despite the firm's poor financial standing.
Following the registration of the case, the CBI conducted searches at five locations in Dimapur, Nagaland, and two locations in Guwahati, Assam, on June 6 and 7. These raids targeted both official and residential premises of the accused and led to the recovery of several incriminating documents and materials, the official said.
Police said that the investigations so far have revealed that the former bank manager received a total of Rs 1,69,000 from the private firm owner. Additionally, invoices amounting to Rs 2,06,200, related to the purchase of electrical and electronic items, were seized from Dey's office. The invoices reportedly indicate that the items were purchased in the name of Singson. Some of these electronic goods were also found at the residences of the former PNB manager in both Dimapur and Guwahati and have been seized for further investigation, stated a press release.
