Srinagar: Police Wednesday lodged a formal case of ‘cheating’ against the Jammu and Kashmir Bank, Branch Hajin officials after a complainant alleged that the bank officials secured a loan amounting to Rs 3 lakhs by using his fake documents.
Sources said that one Bashir Ahmed Shiekh resident of Hajin Bandipora received a notice from Jammu and Kashmir Bank in which he was asked to impress upon one namely Javid Ahmed Parrey son of Habibullah resident of Vijpara Hajin to pay the installments of loan on monthly basis or face consequences. Bashir Ahmed Shiekh according to reports was stunned while going through the notice and after enquiring the matter, it was dawned upon him that the Bank has mentioned him as the guarantor of Javid Ahmed who according to the notice had secured the loan from Hajin Branch of JK Bank.
Sources said that both Bashir and Javid alleged that neither they have secured any loan nor they have acted as guarantor. Reports said that Javid Ahmed Parrey lodged a complaint against the Bank officials for using his fake documents. Police accordingly registered an FIR vide number 54/2014 under section 420, 467, 468 against the Hajin Branch of Jammu and Kashmir Bank.
Bank Manager Hajin Branch, Muhammad Ayoub Bangroo told CNS that they have sufficient proof to prove that Javid Ahmed Parrey had secured a loan from the Bank under Kisan Credit Card Scheme. “Any loan sanctioned under KCC scheme is verified and looked by a special team called Apple Team. The defaulter Javid Parrey can deceive one but not everyone. Apple Team is comprised of so many members and there is genuine proof that he has secured the loan,” he said adding that there are three guarantors who are witness to it.
Station House Officer Hajin, Atiqullah confirmed that a case of fraud has been registered against the Bank officials, however, he said that it will take time to prove the fraud. “We are investigating the matter and everything will be clear in coming days,” he said. (CNS)
