According to officials, the Tripura Gramin Bank fraud took place between December 20, 2023 and April 15, 2024, during which fraudsters allegedly siphoned off money from citizens by promising loans using forged documents. Following the internal probe, one branch manager was dismissed, and 19 people have been listed as accused. An FIR has been filed at NCC Police Station under Case No. 70/2025, invoking charges related to cheating, forgery and fraudulent withdrawal of funds.

The complaint was filed by bank manager Sujit Roy, who stated that the fraud operated by manipulating paperwork and misleading unsuspecting account holders. Even though the alleged scam occurred in the previous fiscal year, the FIR was lodged nearly 18 months later, raising questions over reporting delays. Police have begun collecting evidence and examining all relevant documents, and sources at the Abhoynagar branch confirmed that arrests may begin once sufficient proof is compiled. Some accused individuals have reportedly refunded partial amounts after the filing of the case.

Meanwhile, Tripura Gramin Bank clarified that media reports are “incomplete and misinterpreted”. The bank stated that the incident occurred only in FY 2023–24, action was taken without delay, accountability has been fixed, and no similar occurrence has taken place in FY 2024–25 or FY 2025–26.

The exposure of consecutive financial crimes — first UCO Bank and now Tripura Gramin Bank fraud — has triggered panic among customers regarding deposit security, prompting expectations of stronger monitoring and faster enforcement in the coming days.
