Mumbai, Nov 09: The Central Bureau of Investigation obtained the custody of former Bank of India officer Hitesh Kumar Singla for interrogation in the Rs 16 crore misappropriation case.
He is accused of siphoning funds from 127 accounts, including dormant ones and those belonging to senior citizens, minors and deceased customers.
The entire amount is yet to be recovered.
Last month, Singla was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate for money laundering. The CBI later obtained his production warrant and formally took his custody in the case registered by it for cheating and criminal breach of trust.
