She had access to more than 110 accounts of 41 customers and stole the money between 2020 and 2023. The Customer could not realize it, as she concealed the fraud by changing the numbers of customers with her family members so that the customers do not receive the OTP and are not able to find out what is happening. Her fraud came in light when she suffered heavy losses in the market and could not deposit the stolen money back into the customers' accounts. ICICI Bank immediately suspended her and filed an FIR against her when this fraud came into the limelight. The bank also claimed to have settled claims of the genuine customers.
