A local branch of HDFC bank here today alleged it has been defrauded of Rs 21.15 crore by some people who used "fake" firms to procure loan between 2011 and 2014.
The bank's Panipat Manager Anubhav Pasreeja, who oversees the operations of the Jind branch, today filed a complaint with the Jind Police alleging that the accused had produced documents of "firms" that never existed.
On the basis of the complaint, the police registered cases against 45 "firm managers".
Investigating Officer Jagbir Singh said the loans were procured using "fake" firm documents and the bank has been asked to produce relevant papers for further action.
