NEW DELHI: Over Rs 12 crore have been siphoned off from two bank accounts of the country’s premier healthcare institute AIIMS here by fraudsters by allegedly using “cloned cheques” over the past one month, official sources said.
The money was illegally withdrawn from the AIIMS’ accounts in the State Bank of India (SBI) at its non-home branches in other cities, the sources told reporters.
Even after the fraud came to light, the culprits made attempts to siphon off over Rs 29 crore allegedly using the cloned cheques in SBI’s non-home branches located in Dehradun and Mumbai in the last one week.
However, the attempts were foiled. (AGENCIES)
