Police claim that the accused trio were earlier served notice under the CrPC to visit Jonai Police Station for recording statement in connection with the case, but they did not respond to the police notice and were later found absconding.
The branch manager of the Samabai Samiti, who lodged the police complaint, stated that his cashier Bonti Mili (Tayeng) with the help of field assistant Dipanjali Doley (Das) and collection agent Mausumi Doley (Pegu) had misappropriated more than Rs 1.30 crore out of the credit deposit by maintaining fraudulent financial statement.
Meanwhile, the investigating officer of the case noted down the complainant�s statement and seized relevant documents, including bank accounts and other financial records of the Samabai Samiti for verification of facts.
Reliable sources informed that the prime accused Bonti Mili (Tayeng) has approached Gauhati High Court for anticipatory bail and accordingly the High Court has called for the case diary (CD). However, police are yet to receive any official correspondence in this regard from the Gauhati High Court till Saturday evening.
