Prosenjit Chatterjee's sister loses Rs 10 lakh in bank fraud in Kolkata

KOLKATA: An amount of Rs 9.7 lakh was withdrawn from actor Pallavi Chatterjee's public provident fund account with a private bank following a 'death claim'. The actor unearthed the fraud when she sent an assistant to deposit money into the account a few days ago. Chatterjee, who happens to be the younger sister of actor Prosenjit Chatterjee, has lodged a complaint with the Karaya police station that has started an investigation.

"I have been depositing funds in this account and was suddenly informed that my account has been closed. After a couple of days, the bank informed me the amount has been transferred to a savings bank on the basis of a death claim. But the bank has not been able to find out the account to which the money was transferred or the account-holder's name," she said..
