Man held for duping bank of Rs 2 cr
New Delhi: A 40-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly duping a bank to the tune of over Rs 2 crore by forging documents and fraudulently availing the loan, police said on Saturday.
The accused Brij Gopal is a resident of Mamura village in Noida, they said.
Joint Commissioner of Police (EOW) OP Mishra said Gopal was apprehended from his village in Noida on Friday.
Elaborating about the case, police said Gopal had taken three warehouses on rent from a person. But when he defaulted on his rent payment, the person filed a civil suit against him.
However, during the proceeding, Gopal produced two sale deeds, claiming that he had purchased two plots of land (on which two warehouses were) from another person named Sunil Kumar when in reality, the two plots of land belonged to the father of the person from whom the accused had rented the warehouses, a senior police officer said.
It was also found, police said, that based on the forged sale deeds, Gopal had taken a loan of over Rs two crore from a bank.
After a preliminary inquiry, a case was registered on June 15, 2018, the officer said.
During the investigation, it was revealed that no payment was ever made to Sunil Kumar by Gopal for the two plots of land he claimed he had purchased and it was a "sham transaction", police said.
The address mentioned in the sale deed was also found to be incomplete, police added.
The records collected from the bank confirmed that a loan based on those land sale deeds was taken by Gopal and the loan amount was never paid back, they said.
He induced the person to give his property (warehouse) on rent and later prepared its forged documents. He then mortgaged the property with a bank, police added.

Bihar minister Nitin Nabin appointed BJP's national working president
New Delhi (PTI): Bihar Minister Nitin Nabin was on Sunday appointed as the BJP national working president and is likely to eventually succeed JP Nadda as its national president, signalling a generational shift in the ruling party.
Nabin, 45, son of late Nabin Kishore Prasad Sinha -- a veteran BJP leader and former MLA -- is considered dynamic and ideologically rooted, and deeply committed to the organisation, party leaders said.
A five-time MLA, he represents Bankipur assembly constituency in Bihar and has served twice as a minister in the Bihar Government.
His tenures as a minister in Bihar and his role as the party incharge of Chhattisgarh have been truly outstanding and marked by his effective organisational leadership, they said.
The BJP parliamentary board picked Nabin for the post.
"Bharatiya Janata Party's parliamentary board has appointed Nitin Nabin, a minister in the Bihar government, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s national working president with immediate effect," BJP national general secretary Arun Singh said in a notification.

Nabin, who belongs to the Kayastha community, is likely to succeed incumbent BJP chief Nadda and is one of the youngest leaders to occupy the post, the leaders said.
Nadda, 65, was appointed the BJP President in January 2020 and has already completed his full term. He was granted extensions to lead the party through the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Congratulating Nabin on his appointment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he has distinguished himself as a "hardworking Karyakarta" and expressed confidence that his energy and dedication will strengthen the party.
"He is a young and industrious leader with rich organisational experience and has an impressive record as MLA as well as Minister in Bihar for multiple terms. He has diligently worked to fulfil people's aspirations.
"He is known for his humble nature and grounded style of working. I am confident that his energy and dedication will strengthen our Party in the times to come. Congratulations to him on becoming the BJP National Working President," PM Modi said on X.
Nabin has also worked extensively for Yuva Morcha. His appointment reflects the BJP’s focus on capable leadership and signals a generational shift, the leaders said.
BJP chief Nadda also greeted Nabin and said he was confident that the party would attain new heights under his leadership.
"I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the dynamic BJP leader from the sacred land of knowledge and culture, Bihar, and Minister in the Bihar Government, Shri Nitin Nabin ji on his appointment as the National Working President of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
"I am fully confident that under the guidance of the esteemed Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and your leadership, the organisation will reach new heights with the sentiments of nation-building and public service. Heartfelt best wishes for your illustrious and successful tenure," he said on X.
