Aggarwal in his FIR had named Indian-born global CEO of Citibank Pandit, Chairman William R Rhodes and some other top officials of the bank in connection with the fraud masterminded by Relationship Manager Shivraj Puri.

In the FIR, Aggarwal, who is a resident of Gurgaon, alleged criminal breach of trust, falsification of accounts, cheating and criminal conspiracy by the officials of the Citibank.

"All persons named (in FIR) ... In collusion and conspiracy with each other and other known or unknown persons, (and) have misappropriated large sums of money to the tune of Rs 32.43 crore" Aggarwal said in his complaint.

The fraud at the bank's Gurgaon branch, involving diversion of depositors money into the stock market, was uncovered last week.

The others who were been named in the FIR include Citibank's senior officials CFO John Gerspach and COO Doughlas Peterson (both based in New York).
