Special staff of the Delhi Police busted a gang of cheats and arrested three people for cheating people on the pretext of providing them loans in the form of bank guarantees against their property in North-west Delhi’s Maurya Enclave area. The accused have been identified as Vijay Porter (51), Chander Prakash (43) and Kewal Krishna (49). Meanwhile, two women aides have also been identified and have been arrested.
According to the police, on March 18 last year, the complainant, Mukul Paul Taneja, a management consultant was approached by Chander Prakash and Vijay Porter. Impersonating as liaison officials working with State Bank of India, they convinced Taneja that since they deal with bank loans, if he pays them Rs 25 lakh, they will provide him bank guarantee of Rs 50 crore in lieu of his residential property. Based on Taneja’s complaint, Porter and Prakash were held on April 18 from different areas in East Delhi while Krishna was arrested on Wednesday. During interrogation, the accused informed cops that they were passing through a difficult financial situation. Porter, the mastermind, hatched a plan to cheat people on the false pretext of getting them huge non-refundable loan amount sanctioned.
