This came to light as one bita Haflong bar of Haflong lodged a FIR with the Officer in-charge of Haflong Police station stating that on June 30, some unidentified miscreant had withdrawn an amount of Rs 1,60,000 from the SBI account bearing account No. 30801358644 though the bank passbook and ATM card were under her possession on Tuesday. She also stated that she was informed by the bank employee when enquired that the transaction was made from Gurgaon ATM and Rs 80,000 was withdrawn. Again  Rs 40,000 was withdrawn on the same day and the person who withdrew it was said to be Litan Dev bearing account No. 200223425746 at SBI at Tripura. OC, Haflong Police Station, K Bora said he had received such complaints earlier also and from Tuesday, investigation would be initiated.
