You have not mentioned the contents of FIR nor the allegations are clearly made.
Since FIR is drawn and police is investigating the Bank has nothing to do except the render all possible help to the police to case investigation.
The FIR named persons should apply for bail.
If the FIR has been filed then apply for and obtain anticipatory bail if you have not already obtained it as arrest may take place at anytime. Unless there is direct evidence of your culpability you cannot be punished for the offence by the court.
If you have been named as an accused in the list of accused in the fir then you may obtain anticipatory bail and challenge the same with the aid of evidences in your support.
You may verify the root cause and can prepare to defend yourself accordingly. Appraise your lawyer the facts and seek his advise to face the charges in trial.
