EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 24: The CBI today produced challan in the court against four persons, including a manager of Citizens Cooperative Bank (CCB) and a patwari, in an alleged fraud case of securing loan from Canara Bank against the land which existed in the name of someone else.
The chargesheet was filed in the court of chief judicial magistrate (CJM) Y P Bourney against CCB manager Rajinder Bhardwaj, his son Rohit Bhardwaj, patwari Bua Ditta and Jaswinder Singh, all residents of R S Pura. A loan of Rs 75 lakh was taken from the Shalamar branch of Canara Bank in the name of New Kisan Rice Mill owned by Rohit, CBI sources said.
The land mortgaged to the bank as collateral security did not exist in Rohit's name, the sources added, saying the loan was obtained on the basis of forged revenue papers prepared in connivance with area patwari Bua Ditta.
Sources alleged that both Rajinder and Jaswinder had played an active role in the preparation of forged documents. Bhardwaj was placed under suspension by CCB authorities several times in the past as his involvement had also allegedly figured in some other banks scams too, the sources added and said he was reinstated every time.
Sources said during the course of investigation, no prosecutable evidence was found against the bank officials. The chargesheet was filed against the four accused under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 471 (Using as genuine a forged document) of the prevention of corruption act by investigation officer Bhagwan Dass Dandia through CBI's senior PP S K Bhat.
The case was investigated by Dandia under the supervision of CBI SSP M K Bhat.
Sources said in this particular case, assistance of government examine of question document (GEQD) laboratory was taken for ascertaining the authorship of the writings and signatures found on large number of revenue documents.
Sources said many fraud cases involving bank and revenue officials of R S Pura, Chowadhi and Domana were still under investigation with CBI.
The involvement of Jaswinder had allegedly surfaced as the main accused in these cases, the sources added. Sources said the role of two other patwaris and other revenue officials in these scams was also under scanner. The work on another fraud case involving Divya Rice Mills was also nearing completion, the sources added, saying in this case, a loan of Rs 1.13 cr was taken from SBI's Kachi Chawni branch allegedly through fraudulent means. Sources said Jaswinder was alleged to have confessed his involvement in this case too. |
