Loan fraud case in Colaba
The Colaba Police recently discovered a fraudulent scheme involving three individuals who acquired a loan of Rs 18.70 lakh from a bank by using fake gold as security. The person assigned by the bank to evaluate the legitimacy and value of the gold was involved in the deceitful act.
The plan unfolded when a man requested a loan from the bank, using his gold as collateral. The bank then hired his accomplice to appraise the genuineness and estimated value of the gold. He appraised the gold at Rs 18.70 lakh, leading to the bank granting the loan.
Initially, the loan was being paid back the loan on time but later the accused defaulted. This prompted the bank to issue a warning to sell the gold if the accused failed to settle his debts.
In response, he gave written consent for the bank to proceed with the sale of the gold. When the bank tried to sell the gold, it turned out to be fake. As a result, the accused, and his accomplice were accused of engaging in a fraudulent act. The accused mentioned a third person is involved during interrogation and the cops are conducting a further probe.
