Additional District sessions Judge, Lokesh Kumar Rathi, denied bail to bank's branch manager Pramod Sharma and cashier Rajender Sharma.
The two accused were arrested on July 22, after a clerk in social welfare department was accused of embezzling Rs 85 lakh by opening a forged account of the department in connivance with Pramod and Rajender, besides others.
The scam, which took place in 2008-2009, came to light after a former district welfare officer, Rinku Singh Rahi, staged a dharna in Lucknow seeking reply to an RTI query in connection with the multi-crore scam.
