Gurgaon: The bank account of a vegetable vendor in Kolkata was frozen after the mysterious transfer of nearly Rs 50 lakh from a Gurgaon-based firm, police said Thursday.
The unauthorised transfer of Rs.49.94 lakh was made from the account of Pernod Ricard India, which moved an application seeking the freezing of the bank account of vendor Badal Dass from Kolkata's Berhampur area.
The funds were transferred through the National Electronic Fund Transaction system Dec 24.
On a complaint from the company's manager Rajesh Chaudhary, police registered a case of cheating and criminal breach of trust against unknown people.
"In police investigation it was established that the vendor was not aware how the huge amount of money came to his account," said Additional Station House Officer Kailash Chand.
Choudhary told IANS, "We have provided the complete information to police, we don't know how it happened and don't have anything more to say."
