The police have booked 21 staff and senior members of a cooperative society bank for allegedly cheating its depositors of a total of ₹1.8 crore. Based on a complaint filed by an account holder who lives in Banashankari II Stage, the Hanumanth Nagar police have registered a case of cheating and criminal breach against the president, director, CEO and other staff members of the cooperative society.
