Guwahati, June 7: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two individuals, including a former Senior Manager of Punjab National Bank (PNB) in Dimapur, from Guwahati and the proprietor of a private company based in Dimapur, in connection with an alleged bribery case involving a ₹20 lakh cash credit limit extension.

The arrests were made from Guwahati, Assam and Dimapur, Nagaland, following a case registered by the CBI on June 4, 2025. According to officials, the former PNB official received an alleged bribe of ₹1 lakh directly into his bank account from the account of the businessman, in exchange for facilitating the credit extension despite the firm’s poor financial health.

Subsequent searches at seven locations—five in Dimapur and two in Guwahati—on June 6 and 7 yielded incriminating documents and materials. Investigators uncovered evidence suggesting the total undue advantage taken by the bank official amounted to ₹1.69 lakh. Additionally, invoices worth ₹2.06 lakh for electronic items purchased by the businessman in the banker’s name were seized, some of which were found at the residences of the accused in both cities.

The two accused are expected to be produced before competent courts in Dimapur and Guwahati today.

The investigation is ongoing.
