New Delhi- The Delhi Police has apprehended a 58-year-old man for fraudulently availing credit facilities from a bank by mortgaging the fake property documents of a property dealer, an official said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Khatana, a diploma holder in mechanical engineering, created forged and fabricated property documents and fake identity cards with different addresses. He then submitted the forged property documents to Bank of Baroda and availed credit facility to the tune of Rs 2.90 crore.
Furnishing details, Joint Commissioner of Police (Economic Offences Wing) Chhaya Sharma said that it was alleged that JKN Industries Pvt.
