Police said the account holder, Easwari, had been saving her pension in the bank in Kundrathur for her daughter’s wedding. She said she had not checked her account statement for the past six months.

On Monday, she decided to withdraw cash for an urgent need, and found that the money in her account much less than earlier. She approached the bank manager, who showed her bank challans with her signature. Easwari confirmed that all the signatures were fake. The needle of suspicion fell on cashier Palanivel, 47, of Choolaimedu, police said.

A complaint was filed and the cashier accepted that he had siphoned off money from the widow’s account.
