The Bank Fraud Investigation Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) has arrested three individuals, including a bank manager, for allegedly defrauding HDFC Bank by submitting forged documents to obtain fraudulent loans totaling over Rs61 lakh.
The accused include Gilian Kumar, manager of the Credit Intelligence and Control Unit at HDFC Bank’s Aminjikarai branch, who lodged a complaint last month. The complaint stated that one Kumudha Krishnan submitted forged documents such as KYC details, income tax returns, bank statements, work orders, and quotations for purchasing a mobile crane from IVR Enterprises to secure a loan of Rs30.91 lakh in September.
Similarly, Jahir Ali allegedly obtained Rs30.87 lakh by submitting similar forged documents.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities continue to probe the extent of the fraud.
