The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police on Wednesday called Surinder Arora, one of the former directors of the scam-hit Punjab & Maharashtra Cooperative Bank, for questioning.

Arora was being questioned by the Special Investigation Team of the EOW at the city police headquarters, an official said.

Arora was a director of the PMC Bank and was also on its loan committee, he said.

"We are trying to get certain details about the bank's loan disbursement process," the official said.

The EOW has already arrested promoters of HDIL group Rakesh and Sarang Wadhawan, former PMC Bank chairman Waryam Singh and managing director Joy Thomas after the alleged Rs 4,355 crore scam came to light.

 

Incidentally, it was Arora who had filed a complaint in the alleged Rs 25,000 crore Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank scam, in which the Enforcement Directorate has named NCP chief Sharad Pawar and senior party leader Ajit Pawar.
