FORMER PNB EMPLOYEE QUIZZED

CBI has seized service records and files of Gokulnath Shetty, the former deputy manager at PNB's Brady House branch, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the alleged Rs 11,400-crore fraud.

CBI is looking into the possible role of senior PNB officials who ensured that Shetty is not transferred from the branch.

During questioning, Shetty revealed that he would first send SWIFT messages of small amounts, which were uploaded on the bank's system so that no one would suspect any wrongdoing.

Later, these messages were modified and bigger financial transactions were carried out. The modifications made in the SWIFT messages were not updated on the bank's system. This is one of the reasons why the alleged fraud at PNB went undetected for such a long time.
