A case of financial misconduct has emerged at Axis Bank’s Wokha branch, involving two former employees who allegedly embezzled Rs 14,62,500. The complaint was lodged by Gaijinlung Kamai, the Branch Head of Axis Bank, Wokha.
The accused, Lochumbenj Erui, who served as a Cashier, and Tungdemo Murry, the Assistant Sales Manager, are charged with siphoning funds from the account of DBHSS Wokha, an account established on 8 January 2013 for collecting school fees.
