According to police, the accused availed loans to the tune of several crores from Punjab National Bank, Union Bank of India and Deewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited, etc, using a similar modus operandi.
Cops had started an investigation after receiving a complaint from DHFL about a resident of Shakti Nagar and his son having taken two loans of Rs 2.27 crore in February 2015 against a property in Punjabi Bagh. After receiving the loan amount, the accused persons paid only a few EMIs and then defaulted on the payment. When DHFL conducted an inquiry, they found another person living at the mortgaged property.
