Odisha Vigilance has registered another case against two former officials of Mayurbhanj Central Cooperative Bank (MCCB), Bahalda Branch, for misappropriation of Rs 21.44 lakh.
The accused, Dichen Kumar Mishra (Ex‑Branch Manager) and Gourab Kumar Das (Ex‑Assistant Manager), allegedly diverted funds earmarked for repayment of loans of Tiring Large Sized Adivasi Multipurpose Cooperative Society (LAMPCS). Instead of crediting the amount to the designated LAMPCS account, the duo conspired to channel the money into 12 fraudulent loan accounts, using it to adjust unauthorised loans previously sanctioned by them.
The case has been registered as Baleshwar Vigilance PS Case No.19 dated 01.09.2026 under sections of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018 and the IPC.
This comes weeks after the same officials were arrested on August 6, 2026, in connection with another major fraud of Rs 64.42 lakh, involving fake Loan Against Term Deposit (LATD) accounts created against 24 genuine fixed deposits without customers’ knowledge. That case was registered as Baleshwar Vigilance PS Case No.14/2026.
