The incident happened between November 2021 and September 2023 while the duo worked as 'cash operating executives' of Kerala Gramin Bank's nodal branch at Sulthan Bathery. 

By tampering with the withdrawal-acknowledgement slips, they held back an amount without filling the ATMs. Fake receipts were submitted at the bank's branch.
