Assam: Man Arrested In Dibrugarh For Availing Loan In Name Of Dead Father

 

GUWAHATI: The Bureau of Investigation (Economic Offences) (BIEO) has nabbed a bank loan fraud, from Dibrugarh. The accused has been identified as Abdul Sameer who had taken the loan amount of Rs 10,55,000 from two branches of the Central Bank of India in Dibrugarh, the Dikom branch and the Thana Chariali branch.

He had applied for the loans in the name of his dead father, Abdul Munafar as the applicant. The loan was applied in 2014 in the name of his father who had died in 2006. The fraudster had also submitted false land documents to the bank in order to avail of the loans.

The bank uncovered Sameer’s financial irregularities when it did not receive the loan repayment within the stipulated time. The Central Bank of India has filed an FIR against him after the bank found out about Abdul Sameer’s financial anomalies. 

The bank had filed an FIR against him when he was in Saudi Arabia for two years. He had returned to Assam during Ramzan and on Thursday, August 25, he was arrested. Whether any bank official was involved in the fraud is being investigated by the BIEO.
