Polygraph Test Conducted on Hitesh Mehta in Rs 122 Crore Embezzlement Case

Mumbai police conducted a polygraph test on Hitesh Mehta, New India Cooperative Bank's ex-GM, involved in a Rs 122 crore fraud. The Economic Offences Wing is investigating why the Reserve Bank of India's inspection was delayed, and is tracking four other accused, one of whom has fled the country.

The Mumbai police conducted a polygraph test on Hitesh Mehta, the former general manager and head of accounts of New India Cooperative Bank Limited, on Tuesday. Mehta is the primary suspect in the Rs 122 crore embezzlement case, authorities have confirmed.

A team from the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) plans to visit the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to discern why the bank's discrepancies were only discovered during the February 12 inspection. This follow-up is part of the effort to tighten the case against the accused.

As the EOW intensifies its investigation, it has become clear that key figures like Hiren Bhanu and Gauri Bhanu have already fled the country, complicating efforts to bring all involved parties to justice.
