The CBI has filed four separate supplementary charges against four bank officials in the CBI special court in connection with the Rs 12 crore loan scam at a Union Bank branch.
The then officers Himanshu Agarwal, Kapil Dev Singh, Rajab Pasha and Vijay Kashyap have been named in the charge sheet. The next hearing will be on August 31.
The investigation was initiated based on a complaint from the General Manager of the bank’s regional office in Bhopal. It is alleged that between 2018 and 2023, loans worth crores were sanctioned using fraudulent documents in connivance with co-accused individuals.
The funds were transferred to the accounts of vendors and brokers instead of the beneficiaries. Some loan accounts were transferred to other banks.
The CBI filed its first charge sheet against Prashant Devrao Tirak, Himanshu Agarwal, Govind Singh Meena and Sandeep Agarwal in 2023. Supplementary charges were filed after new evidence revealed the role of the officials.
The CBI is investigating the case and more details will be released soon.
