Maha: Doctor cheated of Rs 11 lakh on pretext of loan, FIR filed

In the end, when the doctor became impatient waiting for the loan to be granted, he started questioning the motive of the man. Later, after being shut down by the man who refused to pick up calls from the doctor, he went to the bank.

The bank workers informed him that the two cheques provided by the man were fraud ones since the signatures did not match. He also found out that the man had never submitted his loan proposal to the bank.

Explaining the matter in detail, Inspector Santosh Patil informed TOI, “The suspected man would each time reach out to the doctor and take money on the pretext of processing the loan file. Moreover, to win the trust of the medico, he even signed an agreement with him stating that all the money taken for processing the loan file will be returned if the loan proposal was rejected.”

“After almost 10 months, the doctor grew anxious and started rigorously following up with the suspect. While the man initially gave him evasive answers, later he began avoiding the doctor’s phone calls entirely,” Patil added.

Realizing that he had been cheated, the doctor reached out to the police and lodged a complaint, following which an FIR was registered.
