A financial scam worth ₹10.87 lakhs has been uncovered in Pune in a private financial company. Loans were fraudulently approved for 18 people who were not eligible for loan. These loans were granted based on fake bank statements that were created at special facilitation centers.
The person accused of running this scam is Sanjeev kumar, also known as Sonu Gurjar. He worked for a company called Fibe (previously known as EarlySalary) and has been accused of cheating the company and taking commissions from the borrowers who received these fake loans.
The complaint against Gurjar was filed by Mohit Chandar Sharma, who is the Head of Credit & Risk at Fibe. Sharma explained that Gurjar submitted fake bank statements to the company to trick them into approving loans for people who were not eligible.
These false documents were uploaded through the Fibe website and sent to Early Salary Services, which then approved the loans. According to the police, Gurjar created these fake bank statements at MP Online centers in Nazirabad, Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) and managed to get loans approved for unqualified individuals. In return, he took commissions from those borrowers. The total value of this fraud is ₹10.87 lakhs. The police, led by Sub-Inspector Karpe, are now investigating this case, and charges have been filed against Gurjar.
In a separate incident, another fraud case has been reported where a couple used fake documents to get home loans of ₹30 lakhs from a finance company. The Mundhwa Police have charged the couple, who live in Pimpri-Chinchwad, with fraud.
This complaint was filed by Syed Kachruddin Sheikh, a 32-year-old resident of Gurudatta Colony, Bhekrai Nagar, Hadapsar. He reported that between July and December 2023, this couple secured home loans using false documents at the Keshavnagar, Mundhwa office of Shubham Housing Development Finance Company.
Both cases are under investigation, and authorities are working to uncover the full extent of the fraudulent activities.
