Pune: Fraudster posing as bank employee dupes doctor of Rs 40 lakh

According to police, the conman contacted Wagh on his cell phone, and claimed to be an employee of Kalyani Nagar branch of a prominent bank. He told Wagh that the bank was offering a loan scheme for doctors, and asked him if he needed a loan.

The accused collected KYC documents from Wagh and promised to provide him a loan of Rs 8 crore. ‘Pawar’ allegedly collected Rs 40 lakh in cash from Wagh, but gave him a forged loan sanction letter of the bank.

Police Sub-Inspector Mahendra Aher, the investigation officer, said, “We suspect that name of the fraudster is not Rohan Pawar. Investigation is on to identify and arrest the accused.”
