As per the FIR, the accused MD of the company, a multi-service business solution provider, had taken a loan of ₹8.49 crore from ICICI Bank. The company had approached the Hindu Colony branch of SBI in connection with the loan. The branch, after preliminary assessment, sanctioned ₹8.84 crore to the company and recently, the loan was transferred from ICICI Bank to the SBI.

Under the terms of the transfer, the company was supposed to submit the title deeds of two properties mortgaged for availing the loan to SBI. The deceased had contacted the accused MD many times, requesting him to submit the property documents to the bank, but in vain, said a police officer.

SBI’s senior officials thereafter held Malpani responsible for the lapse and since then he was under stress and chose to end his life, the police officer said. The deceased has also mentioned names of three other bank officials, who were involved in processing the loan, the officer added.

The police have registered a case for abetment of suicide against the MD of the company based on complaint filed by the wife of the deceased. The woman in her complaint to the police has said that her husband was under tremendous stress since past two-three months.

  1. It’s a loan take-over from ICICI . Without completion of mortgage and other formalities,loan amount should not have been transferred to ICICI.How the account was conducted in ICICI should have been enquired into.
