Accused K Sivaramakrishna, proprietor of a construction company and his associate N Mohan Reddy (both belonging to Andhra Pradesh) allegedly cheated the IDBI Bank's Chapel Road branch here, after availing a loan of Rs 10.19 crore during 2010-11 and failed to return the amount, the police said, adding that after a complaint by the bank, a case was registered by the CBI's Economic Offences Wing in August 2013.
"They cheated the bank by submitting fake valuation card of a land area, with the seal and signature of the Maheshwaram sub-registrar's office. The fake valuation card with exaggerated land value was submitted as collateral for availing of the loan, after which they diverted the funds," a CBI official said.
