Former Oriental Bank Special Assistant Convicted in Rs 83.69 Lakh Bank Fraud Case, Gets 7-Year Jail Term and Rs 4.30 Lakh Fine:

A CBI Court in Jaipur on September 1, 2026, convicted Murari Lal Meena, a former Special Assistant at Oriental Bank of Commerce, Lalsot branch in Dausa district, in a bank fraud case. The court sentenced him to seven years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 4.30 lakh.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had registered the case on December 20, 2017, following a complaint by the Oriental Bank of Commerce, Lalsot branch. The bank alleged that Meena had misused his official position by issuing unauthorised “No Dues Certificates”.

According to the CBI, these certificates helped borrowers get their mortgaged securities released even though loan amounts were still outstanding. The alleged irregularities involved 25 loan accounts and caused a wrongful loss of Rs 83.69 lakh to the bank.

After completing its investigation, the CBI filed a charge sheet against Meena on August 28, 2019. The court formally framed charges against him on January 23, 2024.

Following the trial and examination of the evidence, the court found Murari Lal Meena guilty and sentenced him to seven years in prison along with the fine.
