The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police has arrested a 64 year-old man for allegedly forging property documents to avail multiple loans from the bank. The accused has been identified as Suresh Kumar Pruthi, a resident of Sonepat in Haryana.
According to Dr O P Mishra, the Joint Commissioner of Police, EOW, a First Information Report was registered after the officials of UCO Bank alleged that a Satish Sharma took a loan of Rs two crores from them to purchase a school in Sonepat area.
“The loan was secured by mortgaging property in the Sonepat to UCO Bank as collateral security. Later it was found that the alleged has already availed another loan of Rs four crores from Corporation Bank, in Mayapuri by mortgaging the same property. The fact regarding mortgaging the said property to Corporation Bank, Mayapuri was concealed by accused Satish Kumar from the UCO Bank,” said the Joint CP.
