A manager of a private finance firm registered a complaint of cheating against one of the firm’s gold loan holder who had withdrawn Rs 4.5 lakh from his account that was transferred to his account by the finance firm by mistake.
Police sources said that the complaint was registered at Adajan police station by Ankit Rawat, who works at Shivalik Small Finance Bank. The complaint was filed against Hiren Donda, a resident of Katargam under BNS Sections 316 (2) and 318(4). An investigation is under way.
Rawat, in his complaint, alleged that he had received an email from the office on January 9 that stated that Donda had approached the bank for a loan on two gold rings weighing 11.43 grams, worth a total of Rs 66,396. After the loan was processed, an amount of Rs 54,445 was deposited in Donda’s SBI bank account on January 9.
Rawat’s complaint further alleged that by mistake, Rs 4.57 lakh was transferred to Donda’s bank account on the same day.
“Hiren had, during the time period, withdrawn Rs 4.57 lakh and used it for personal purpose. The bank officials contacted Hiren and told him to return Rs 4.57 lakh,” the FIR stated.
Adajan Police Inspector P J Solanki said, “Hiren had sought time from the bank to return the money, but he failed. Hiren had recently stopped taking phone calls from the bank…We will send a team to pick up Hiren.”
