A fraudster committed a unique fraud by withdrawing lakhs of rupees from an account using a cancelled check. Such a unique fraud incident occurred in the Bagnan police station area. The Bagnan police station has already arrested five accused in this incident. An investigation has been initiated by filing a case against them under multiple sections, including cheating.

It is learned that the check was canceled in the name of loan verification and written on it with magic ink.
