The CBI Court in Lucknow has convicted and sentenced Ram Swaroop Mishra, Branch Manager of Bank of Baroda, Baskhari Branch, Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, to five years imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs. 50,000/- in a bribery case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered the case on 07.03.2017 based on a complaint alleging that the complainant had been sanctioned a loan of Rs. 20,25,000/- under the “Kamdhenu Yojana” from the Bank of Baroda, Baskhari Branch, Ambedkar Nagar, UP. Part of the loan amount was credited to the complainant’s account; however, the account was subsequently put on hold.
