Organized loan fraud racket; UP STF nabs union Bank of India manager from Delhi

Lucknow, Apr 11 (UNI) Carrying forward its major crackdown on financial fraud, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) arrested a union Bank of India manager from Delhi, officials said on Saturday. The accused is part of a well-organized racket involved in sanctioning fraudulent loans under government schemes, cheating over 100 individuals and siphoning off crores of rupees.
The incident came to light after a Lucknow resident, Raj Bahadur Gurung, approached the STF headquarters with a complaint. He stated that he had signed certain bank forms through an intermediary to obtain a business loan but was later informed that his loan application had been rejected.
However, nearly five to six months later, he began receiving EMI due messages on his mobile phone. Upon checking his credit score, he discovered that two loans had been sanctioned in his name without his knowledge.
