Construction firm booked by CBI for cheating bank of ₹91.92 crore
Hindustan TimesThe Central Bureau of Investigation has booked a construction company and its directors for allegedly duping Union Bank of India to the tune of ₹91.92 crore. In 2009, the company had obtained various credit facilities from the bank which were renewed and enhanced from time to time and the last credit facility was sanctioned/enhanced to ₹95 crore in 2013, the complaint said. As per the forensic audit’s report, it was alleged that the company and its promoters had availed the credit facility from the bank on the basis of manipulated stock and book debt statements and financial statements with inflated figures to draw higher volume of amounts from the bank, CBI sources said. The borrower firm thereafter diverted the credit amount to its related and associated companies without its sanctioned end - utilisation, and thereby caused a loss to the bank and corresponding gain to itself, the sources said.
