Lucknow: A private bank official and his aide were arrested on Saturday for fraudulently getting loans sanctioned to customers without their consent and then using the money for their personal purposes.
The miscreants were identified as Fida Mirza (sales manager of a private bank in Hazratganj) and his aide Vikas Kureel of Chowk.
The fraud came to light after one Ankur Singh of IIM Road lodged a complaint against Mirza and Kureel accusing the duo of fraudulently getting a loan sanctioned in his name and deducting loan installment from his bank account at the State Bank of India in Bithauli Khurd.Singh said he noticed that Rs 35,000 had been withdrawn from his SBI account on different dates.
He emailed the private bank seeking an explanation. He was told through a letter that he had taken a loan and not paid the installment.
DCP Central Zone, Raveena Tyagi said, when Singh contacted the sales manager, he even threatened him.
“When the victim did not get any help in getting his problem resolved he closed his SBI account to stop further deduction of money,” she said.
