Guwahati, Aug 9 (IBNS): The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Guwahati on Wednesday sent Olivia Dutta Choudhury to 4-day police custody, who was arrested by the Guwahati city police from Nainital in Uttarakhand after she allegedly siphoned over Rs 3 crore from the account of customers of the bank in connivance with her husband.

The court sent the deputy manager of the private sector bank to a 4-day police custody after she was produced before the court.

Police sought 7-day remand but the court sent her to a 4-day remand.

An investigating team of Guwahati city police led by ACP Suprative Lal Barua arrested the bank official from a hotel in Nainital in Uttarakhand on August 6 last.

“Following a tip-off, the police team had arrested Olivia, who was absconding after siphoning the crore of rupees,” a top police official said.

Meanwhile, police arrested another associate of Olivia named Biswajit Ghosh from Rehabari area in the capital city of Assam in connection with the money siphoning case.
