Five arrested in cheating case

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, MARCH 27. Three senior officials of a Government bank, two of whom are now retired, were among five persons arrested by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi police for allegedly availing loans against someone else's property.

The police said B.M. Mittal, a resident of Sriniwaspuri in South Delhi, had got a notice from the Debt Recovery Tribunal in connection with his property at Dilshad Garden, which he had supposedly mortgaged to the Central Bank of India, Okhla Branch, to get a loan of Rs. 50 lakhs.

A bewildered Mr. Mittal approached the police and a case was registered at Sriniwaspuri police station and investigations were handed over to the EOW.

Following investigations, the police arrested Deb Priya Das, director of a bogus firm by the name of Variety Marketing, Ashok Kumar Sawhney, the then Chief Manager, Ravinder Kumar Verma, the then Senior Manager, Vijay Sharma, serving manager (advances) and Ved Prakash Aneja, a Government- approved valuer of properties.

The fraud had been carried out in 1999 when Ashok Kumar and Ravinder Kumar were serving on senior posts at the Okhla Branch of the Central Bank of India. They have retired since then.
