Bhadohi (UP), Nov 30: Acting on a court order, police in Bhadohi district have registered a case against three people, including a bank manager, for fraudulently obtaining a loan in the name of a person, police said.
They said that Sunil Kumar Mishra of Bahraichi village received a notice from the District Legal Services Authority on November 28, 2023, stating that he had taken a loan of Rs 1.85 lakh from the Gyanpur branch of the Indian Bank, which stood at Rs 4.23 lakh with interest.
In the notice, the authority gave Mishra the opportunity to settle the matter by mutual consent at the Lok Adalat.
Upon receiving the notice, a shocked Mishra submitted a written statement to the bank stating that he had not taken any loan. However, no action was taken in his case.
Suriyawa SHO Rajesh Pratap Singh said that after all efforts failed, Mishra filed a petition in the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division) Harikiran Kaur on September 26, 2025.
As per Mishra’s account, a photo of one Ramesh Yadav, of Koder village, was used in the bank details for the loan, and the loan was approved with a forged signature in Mishra’s name.
The victim further alleged that one Shashi Bhushan Mishra of his village was also involved in the alleged crime, along with the bank manager, who later issued a recovery certificate (RC) despite the victim’s written complaint submitted at the bank.
According to the police, the civil judge ordered the registration of an FIR on Thursday for committing fraud, falsification of documents and conspiracy, among other offences.
The SHO said that in compliance with the order, a case has been registered against the three accused, and further investigation is underway.(PTI)
