A complaint had been registered against four officials of PNB, Station Square Branch, Bhubaneswar — the then Chief Manager; then Assistant General Manager; then Chief Manager; then Senior Manager – along with Managing Director, two ex-Directors and one Director of a Bhubaneswar based private firm, unknown PNB officials and some other unknown people.
