Mumbai: The city Economic Offences Wing (EOW), probing the Rs 122 crore cash missing case from the New India Cooperative Bank (NICB), on Friday received the report of a brain mapping test conducted on the bank’s arrested GM and head of accounts, Hitesh Mehta. Police said that the results of the test are positive. “It is indicative of his and other accused involvement in the scam,” said an EOW officer.
Mehta, 57, was arrested in Feb, days after the fraud came to light. He was subjected to a lie-detector test on Feb 11, but the results were deceptive. He was then subjected to a brain electrical oscillation signature (BEOS) profiling, a forensic psychology technique, on February 28. “Its results are positive. It indicates his and other accused like builder Dharmesh Paun, Unnathan Arunachalam, Ahimanyu Bhoan, and wanted accused Hiren Bhanu’s involvement,” said the source.
