In Jind, Haryana, a case of fraud has been registered against 5 people, including employees of the private bank IDFC. The case was registered based on a complaint filed by a person who alleged that the accused individuals embezzled an amount of Rs 52 lakh by obtaining a loan in the name of a deceased cancer patient and forging a guarantor’s signature.
According to the complaint, the person who filed the complaint, Narendra, stated that his brother, Rajesh, had passed away several years ago. In May 2023, Rajesh’s brother-in-law, Shatrughan, along with Rammehar and another individual from Devrad village, approached Narendra. Shatrughan claimed that Rammehar, an honest man from their village, needed a loan for a machine and requested Narendra to become a guarantor.
Narendra was asked to provide his ID and was instructed to confirm the loan and sign the papers when called for verification. However, no bank employee contacted him. On October 9, 2023, Narendra received a message on his phone regarding a case.
It was then that he discovered that a case had been filed against him as a guarantor in an IDFC vs Ramesh case. The loan had been taken in the name of Rammehar’s deceased brother, Ramesh, who had passed away from cancer. Narendra visited the IDFC Bank Rohtak branch and found that the loan had been processed through Surendra and Rammehar, with the documents prepared by bank employee Praveen and the bank manager.
Upon examining the documents, Narendra discovered that the guarantor’s signatures were forged on the application and agreement. He also revealed that Ramesh had died on May 21, 2023, while the loan was released on May 25, 2023, just four days after his death. The loan amount was disbursed and misappropriated by forging the deceased’s signature.
The city police station’s investigating officer, Ashok Kumar, confirmed that a case has been registered based on Narendra’s complaint. The case includes charges of fraud against Rammehar, his mother Santosh, Surendra, Praveen (an IDFC Bank employee), and the IDFC Bank manager.
