CBI books two Hyderabad-based companies for cheating banks to the tune of Rs 14 crore

Hyderabad: Central Bureau of Investigation officials from Hyderabad booked five from the city, including a State Bank of India employee and two directors of Incline Agrotech for cheating the bank to a tune of Rs 6 crore.

Officials registered a case against Abdul Rawoof Pasha, the then RMME of Parishram Bhavan SBI branch, and the two directors of Incline Agrotech — K Vikram Babu and K Shiv Varma. They also booked advocate Maganti Satyanarayana and A Srinivas Prasad.

The CBI was acting upon a complaint filed by the head of the Parishram SBI branch against the five. According to the complainant, Abdul Rawoof Pasha (under suspension) during his tenure (25-7-2017- to 5-12-2018) conspired with Vikram and Shiv to defraud the bank.

It is alleged that the directors of Incline Agrotech applied for a cash credit facility for an amount of Rs 6 crore for their business. The loan amount was sanctioned based on current assets in 2017, and the directors borrowed the same. However, due to the absence of any further inspection, the firm failed to meet the repayment obligation, and the account turned into a nonperforming asset.

The CBI booked a case against the five under sections 120-B r/w, 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, and 477 A.
