Jalandhar, May 20: A private bank has accused Gurwinder Singh Samra, who was instrumental in the arrest of two judges on graft charges, of defrauding it of Rs 40 lakhs.
Police has began a probe into the allegations levelled by Paramjot Singh, in-charge of ICICI bank branch here, who in two written complaints to SSP Varinder Kumar alleged Samra borrowed Rs 39.93 lakh from the bank two years back to purchase two vehicles- Mercedes Benz and Mitsubish Pajero - but failed to repay the same and instead instructed the bank not to release payments of the "post dated" cheques.
The complainant further alleged that the 66 cheques Samra gave the bank to repay the loan of Rs 18 lakh taken to purchase a Mercedes on January 9,2001 and Rs 21.93 lakh to buy a Mitsubishi-Pajero car on November 30,2001 bounced due to non-availability of funds, stop payment and closure of account.
The bank official further alleged that Samra, contrary to the terms and condition of the agreement, had fraudulently and dishonestly suppressed the details of the hired vehicles and illegally sold out or parted with their possession to get wrongful gains by fraud.
The complainant demanded registration of cases under various sections of IPC against Samra.
The SSP said he has asked DSP Charanjit Singh to probe the matter and initiate requisite legal action against Samra who has 15 cases pending against him for "treating" people with a fake medical degree and rendering them handicapped.
