Rs 4.58 crore stolen from ICICI bank customers: Broke FDs, created overdraft and personal loan; how lady relationship manager executed fraud
Such was the addiction of stock market trading that a 26-year-old girl working as an ICICI Bank relationship manager stole Rs 4.58 crore from innocent customers of the bank to do speculative investments in stock market futures and options (F&O). This young girl, did not even leave her family members as she took money from her father-in-law as well to trade in the stock market F&O. Kota, Rajasthan Police SP has revealed to us that most of these customers from whose accounts she stole the money to fuel her stock market ambitions were senior citizens who were not so tech savvy. The police also revealed that she covered her tracks and digital footprint so well that even her colleagues and the branch manager could not catch a whiff of it. It was the bank's internal audit team who managed to crack this scam and expose it. As soon as the ICICI Bank 's audit team flagged this scam, the bank's branch manager filed a FIR case against her accusing of running this elaborate scam. Based on this FIR she was arrested by Udyog Nagar police station, Kota, Rajasthan on May 31, 2025 at her sister's wedding. The charge-sheet is yet to be filed and police said it will be done once the full investigation is over. How did this 26-year-old girl manage to loot Rs 4.58 crore without anybody noticing? Dilip Saini, Additional Superintendent of Police (SP), Kota, Rajasthan told ET Wealth Online that, 'She is now 26 years old and this crime was committed by her from 2020 to 2023 i.e. during her period of employment with ICICI Bank. Our police investigation has revealed that she used multiple stock broking websites and apps like ICICI Direct, Zerodha (Kite), to trade in the derivative segment (Future and Options).' Live Events When asked how no customer of the bank noticed this scam which she ran for three years, Saini told: "She even changed the mobile number of customers to her own close relative's numbers so that they don't know about these transactions.' As the OTPs and alerts never reached the real account holders and these customers never checked their bank balance also, it was made easy for her to run this scam. When the Rajasthan Police interrogated her, she revealed that most of these illegal and unauthorised transactions were done by her through the ICICI Bank 's Insta Kiosk and digital banking channels. The police investigation found that she changed entries in the bank's internal software to hide her activities. Also read: ICICI Bank branch manager duped depositors of crores for years to meet targets She used a pool account to gather all the money she stole by prematurely broke FDs, created overdrafts and even created personal loans in customer's name She withdrew funds from FD accounts by prematurely breaking them, created overdrafts, and even took personal loans in innocent customer's names, without any of them knowing or authorising it. Saini said: "Investigation also revealed that she used a third party's account as a pool account to collect all the money she took out by prematurely withdrawing the FDs, creating overdrafts (ODs) and even personal loans in the customer's name.' She used ICICI Bank customer's online FD website to prematurely break fixed deposits belonging to 31 customers and transferred Rs 1.35 crore into unauthorised accounts. She also took out a personal loan of Rs 3.4 lakh in someone else's name and executed transactions through digital platforms such as Insta Kiosk, ATM, and internet banking — even using debit cards of four unsuspecting customers. A pool account is an account where all the collected money from the other FD, OD, loan accounts are deposited in a single place and from here she then transfers the money to her demat account. This method saved her time, as managing money from 40 or so bank accounts is more difficult than doing it from one single account. Saini explained: 'Moreover, our investigation also revealed that she even took money from her father-in-law and invested that in the stock market. It seems from our investigation that despite losing money in the stock market trades, she used to invest more and more money by taking it from innocent customers' different types of bank accounts (FD, OD, etc).' ICICI Bank's audit team exposed this scam Saini said: 'This scam that she used to run during her employment (2020-2023) was brought to our notice by the ICICI Bank branch manager who in turn was informed by the bank's internal audit team. Although we arrested her, but we believe such a small age girl could not have managed to conduct this scam alone, there must be other accomplices. We are still investigating. We have traced all the affected bank customers and found most of them were senior citizens who are not so tech savvy and merely invested in FDs and other banking products.' An ICICI Bank spokesperson said, 'The interest of our customers are of paramount importance to us. Immediately upon discovering the fraudulent activity, we filed an FIR with the police. We have a zero-tolerance policy against any fraudulent activity and thus suspended the employee involved. We would like to reassure that genuine claims of impacted customers have been settled.'

From foes to friends to foes again: What are ten key moments in Trump-Musk fickle relationship?
Image credit: AP In a dramatic 48-hour unraveling, the relationship between US President Donald Trump and billionnaire Elon Musk collapsed spectacularly in full public view. The clash began when Musk openly criticized Trump's proposed 'big beautiful bill,' calling it fiscally irresponsible and disconnected from innovation-driven policy. Trump fired back with threats to revoke federal subsidies and government contracts for Musk's companies, framing the tech billionaire as ungrateful and disloyal. Musk, in turn, escalated the feud, accusing Trump of deception, failed leadership, and clinging to outdated political narratives. What was once a transactional alliance between political power and tech influence has now devolved into a high-profile feud playing out across social media platforms, with implications for business, politics, and the 2024 presidential landscape. However, their relationship has swung from initial disagreements, to standing firmly by each other, and eventually drifting apart once again. Here's a lookback into their hot and cold relationship: 2016: When Musk felt Trump 'not right guy' for US There was a time, not long ago, when Musk publicly noted that Trump's lacked the "character that reflects well on the United States". He had appraised Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump. "I feel a bit stronger that he is not the right guy," Musk had said about Trump. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3BHK Transformation Possible for ₹4.5 Lakh? HomeLane Get Quote Undo "He doesn't seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States," he had said. "I don't think this is the finest moment in our democracy," the Tesla CEO added. 2017: Musk joins, then quits Trump's administration Elon Musk left Donald Trump's administration during his first term over differences in opinions on climate change. Musk was a part of a handful of White House advisory boards, including Trump's "manufacturing jobs council." "Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world," he had said. 2020: Trump calls Musk 'one of our great brains' In 2020, Trump publicly praised Musk during a SpaceX launch, calling him 'one of our great brains' and commending his achievements. However, despite occasional tensions, Musk maintained close ties with the federal government through lucrative SpaceX contracts with Nasa and other agencies. 2022: When Trump called Musk a 'bulls*** artist' Trump, during a rally in 2022, had criticised Musk calling him a "bulls*** artist" for supporting the Democrats in 2016 Presidential elections. 'He said the other day, 'Oh, I've never voted for a Republican'. I said, 'I didn't know that.' He told me he voted for me, so he's another bulls*** artist,' he had said. Two months after this incident, Musk, who bought X, formerly known as Twitter, lifted ban on Trump's social media account. His account was suspended in 2021 following the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, as X's previous management cited the risk of incitement to violence in the wake of the deadly riot led by Trump's supporters. July 2024: Musk's first official endorsement for Trump The X owner's first official endorsement for Trump came on July 13, 2024 (local time), after the then GOP presidential nominee survived an assassination attempt. "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," Musk had said. Musk then actively supported Trump's campaign, even appearing alongside him on the trail, and contributed around $277 million to boost Trump and other Republican candidates — primarily through a super PAC he backs, known as America PAC, according to campaign finance records, CBS News reported. The contribution made Musk the single largest donor to either party in the 2024 election cycle, according to federal election commission filings. December 2024: With Trump in office, 'a star is born- Elon' After securing victory in the US presidential elections, Trump, in his victory speech, gave a special mention to Musk saying: 'We have a new star; a star is born- Elon.' 'He's an amazing guy. We were sitting together tonight. You know, he spent two weeks in Philadelphia, in different parts of Pennsylvania, campaigning,' he had said. January 2025: Musk back in Trump admin, spearheading DOGE Trump appointed Musk to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a role focused on reducing federal spending. However, the initiative fell significantly short of Musk's ambitious target of saving $1 trillion. And thus began the beginning of a relationship that led Musk publicly professing his love for Trump: "I love @realDonaldTrump as much as a straight man can love another man," he had said. The two leaders made a joint appearance in the Oval Office, where they took questions from the press. Musk was accompanied by his son during the visit. July: Musk criticises 'big beautiful bill' after exiting Trump government Days after exiting Trump administration, Musk took on 'big beautiful bill' saying: "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong." T he outspoken protest marked Musk's first public break with Trump since stepping down from his administration role last week. "Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL," he said. Tensions flared even further when Musk claimed credit for Trump's 2024 victory and dismissed the former president's remarks with a blunt 'Whatever.' 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk claimed. In retaliation, Trump accused Musk of going 'crazy' after losing influence and threatened to cut federal subsidies to Musk's companies. "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave… and he just went CRAZY!' he said. Musk drops 'Epstein files' bomb In a stunning escalation, Musk accused Trump of being named in the Jeffrey Epstein files — a highly controversial and politically explosive topic that continues to cast a long shadow over American public life. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' he said. "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,' he added. He also criticised Trump's tariffs saying: 'The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year.' Musk calls for new 'American Party' Musk called for the launch of a new political party in the US calling it "The American Party". 'Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?' he said. Based on the X poll results, Musk agreed upon the name 'The America Party'. "The people have spoken. A new political party is needed in America to represent the 80% in the middle! And exactly 80% of people agree. This is fate," he added. Given their history of fickle relationship, will they find their ways back to each other, or is it the beginning of the end?
