3 of family booked for forging man's signature for loan
Gurugram, March 6 -- A man, his wife and their son were booked for allegedly forging documents and signatures of the man's brotherto get a Rs.6.28 crore loan from various banking and non-banking financial institutions by showing him as a co-applicant, while he was in jail in 2018, police said on Thursday.
They said the fraud came to light in the last three months when the victim, Sushil Kumar, 54, a resident of Central Park-II in Sector-48, tried to get loans for his business. However, his applications were rejected due to poor credit scores.
Kumar approached bank officials and learned that Rs.6.28 crore was already disbursed in the name of his brother and other family members.
He then filed a complaint with the police. The loans had been partially repaid and settled, police added.
Investigators said loans were taken between August 30, 2017 and August 30, 2018, a period that almost overlaps with the time Kumar was in jail, from July 6, 2017 to July 31, 2018, after being arrested in a criminal case.
Officials said that all the six loans, with the maximum amount of Rs.2.48 crore, were closed by February 28, 2023.
A senior police officer said that all the six loans were settled by making partial payments, while the rest were written-off. "The loan of Rs.74.55 lakh was settled after a bank had written off Rs.28.56 lakh. Another loan of Rs.2.48 crore was settled and bank had to write off Rs.89.56 lakh," he said.
"The third loan amounting Rs.59.31 lakh was settled by banks by writing-off Rs.21.58 lakh," he added. Officer said that Kumar and his brother lived in DLF Phase-III. "The victim alleged that his brother used his forged documents to get loans," he said. Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said that someone might have impersonated Kumar for verification process.
"The role of bank officials who cleared the loans are also under scanner and investigation is going on," he said....
