According to report, involvement of the other Board of Directors, including Vamanrao Balatkar, Satyajit Trivedi, Vitthalrao Gawande, Pradeep Raut, Shivraj Gujjar, Laxminarayan Padak, Babanrao Tidke, Rashmi Thakre, Savita Bobde and Nareshchandra Lakhotia has not been found in the police investigation. As strong evidence was not found in the investigation, no chargesheet was filed against the accused Board of Directors. Initially, the Nagpur police did not entertain complaints filed against Manmode. Cops only acted after one of the complainants, Kunal Yelne, approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the report added.
Nandanwan police, in the chargesheet, stated that Sachin Bomble was the Manager at Nirmal Urban Cooperative Bank’s Branch in Kamptee. While working there, he allegedly increased the cash credit limit against the loan of account holders Baba Readymade of Rahimullah Adil Mumtaz Ahmed Adil, Idu Manchanda, Rameshwar Bawankar, Ansh Trading Company of Manish Ghavghave and Salman Chhaware and swindled Rs 3.5 crore. The police investigation further revealed that after committing the fraud, Bomble in connivance with Nirmal Ujjwal Credit Cooperative Society’s Secretary Pramod Manmode had hatched a conspiracy and made complainant Yelne and another victim, Mukesh Barbate, mortgage their properties in the society. Against the transaction, they got a Rs 5 crore loan, Rs 2.5 crore each approved from the society.
The police further mentioned in the chargesheet that Manmode asked them to help him in settling a bank fraud allegedly committed by Kamptee Branch Manager Bomble. As Yelne and Barbate had applied for loans, Manmode urged them to increase the loan amount. Gaining the duo’s confidence, Manmode also made them mortgage six of their properties, including a house and open plots. The bank then transferred the Rs 2.5 crore loan to Anyone’s account. Out of this amount, Rs 1.51 crore was reportedly transferred into Bomble’ account. Similarly, Rs 1.68 crore was transferred from Barbate’s account into Bomble’s account. By doing this, they covered up the Rs 3.5 crore fraud committed in Nirmal Urban Cooperative Bank, Kamptee branch.
Promising to repay the amount, Manmode also prepared a memorandum of understanding which clearly stated that he will repay the amount of Yelne and Barbate and release their mortgaged properties. But later Manmode refused, the chargesheet report stated. After the fact came to fore, the police booked both Manmode and Nirmal Urban Cooperative Bank under Sections 420, 409, 109, 120 (B) of the IPC.
