Private bank manager 'loses money' in online game, kills self in Bihar

NAWADA: The suspected 'kidnapping' of the branch manager of a private bank in Nawada turned out to be a case of suicide.
According to Nawada SP Ambarish Rahul, 26- year-old Vinay Singh, who served as branch manager of Indusind Finance Bank in Nawada town branch for the last four years, was missing for two days and his body was found lying on the railway tracks in neighbouring Nalanda district on Tuesday.
The SP said the deceased branch manager was addicted to playing online ludo and his bank account transaction revealed that he had apparently lost a lot of money following withdrawal of large amounts from his personal bank account in the last 10 days.
Even his father revealed that Vinay had borrowed Rs 3.5 lakh from him and also some amount from his sister. Apparently, the loss of huge amount of money, led to Vinay to take the extreme step by throwing himself before a running train.
Vinay, a native of Buxar, went for his routine morning walk on February 18. When he failed to turn up at his residence at Hanuman Nagar, where he lived as a tenant in the house of Pintu Singh and also at the bank, a bank staff lodged a suspected kidnapping case on February 19. Even his mobile phone was found switched off which further pointed towards his suspected 'abduction'.
A special investigative team was constituted by the SP to investigate into the matter. The team traced that his last call was at 8 am on Monday near Deepnagar in Nalanda district.
On Tuesday, the Deepnagar police reported recovery of a on the railway track between Deepnagar and Biharsharif railway stations.
Meanwhile, his worried father who was distraught over his son's sudden disappearance and had arrived in Nawada, identified the body as that of his son lying in the mourge at Biharsharif hospital.
