Patna : A serious accusation has been levelled against the branch head of a private bank in Patna, who is alleged to have attempted to rape a female employee. The incident, which occurred in the Sri Krishnapuri area of the city, has prompted a police investigation following the victim’s formal complaint.
According to the victim, the branch head, identified as Rajneesh Kumar Srivastava, contacted her on Wednesday afternoon, asking about her day’s work. The conversation quickly turned concerning when Srivastava reportedly invited her to a girls’ hostel under the pretext of discussing urgent medical advice for a friend.
Upon arrival, the victim claims that Srivastava was already intoxicated and began pressuring her to consume alcohol. She further alleged that when she refused, Srivastava physically restrained her, insisting she offer something in return for a promotion.
The situation escalated when Srivastava allegedly attempted to assault her. The victim attempted to escape, but the hostel door was reportedly locked from the outside by Srivastava’s accomplice, Divyanshu. After a brief struggle and cries for help, the door was opened, and the victim fled the scene, later seeking refuge at a nearby police station.
The Sri Krishnapuri Police have confirmed that an official complaint has been filed and a case is under investigation. The police are currently examining all evidence, including the victim’s statement, to determine the next steps in the case.
The bank has yet to comment on the allegations.
