CBI Court Sentences Three Public Servants to Rigorous Imprisonment for Seven Years in Bank Fraud Case:

In relation to a bank fraud, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Court, Jaipur, has convicted and sentenced three public servants, including the former Branch Manager (Ramji Lal Meena), former Special Assistant (Murari Lal Meena), and Peon cum Housekeeper of Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC), Sheosinghpura, Lalsot, Dausa (Than Singh Lashkar), to Rigorous Imprisonment (RI) for a period of seven years.

Furthermore, a penalty amounting to Rs 85,000 has been levied on each accused. A case in the present matter was registered on February 01, 2019, following a complaint filed by the Deputy General Manager, Oriental Bank of Commerce.

The complainant claimed that the accused, Murari Lal Meena, then Special Assistant, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Sheosinghpura, Lalsot, Dausa, misused their authority to allegedly issue unauthorised ‘No Dues Certificates', which eventually contributed to the release of mortgaged securities, although there were certain outstanding loan liabilities. This ultimately led to a wrongful loss of Rs 12,14,660.71 to the bank, across three loan accounts.

Subsequent to the completion of the probe, the CBI furnished a chargesheet concerning the present matter on May 05, 2022, against the three accused public servants. The court convicted and sentenced these three accused after trial.
