Six arrested for fraud

NEW DELHI: The Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi Government has arrested two employees of the Delhi State Financial Development Corporation and an employee of Delhi State Cooperative Bank along with three others for allegedly getting loans meant for deprived sections of society cleared using fake documents.

The agency received a complaint last year pertaining to an alleged fraud in which Rs.50,000 was issued to a shoe shop in 2003. The Anti-Corruption Branch registered a case and took up investigations. It came to light that Sushil Kumar, a peon with the Corporation, in collusion with the Field Inspector Veerpal Singh and Anil Gupta, an official with the Delhi State Corporative Bank, and Satish Kumar, Dinesh Gupta, Jatinder and others had allegedly got loans sanctioned against fictitious names by using forged documents and photographs of different persons. The accused then shared the loan amount among them.

Subsequently the six accused were arrested on Monday.
