Arrested for fraud
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: A 40-year-old software engineer has been arrested by the Delhi police for allegedly duping a businessman of several lakh rupees on the pretext of arranging a loan.
Accused Vivek Bhat approached Vinay R.C. Iyer posing as agent of Australia-based Interworld PTY Ltd. last year and promised to arrange a loan of Rs.32 crore for his company. Subsequently an agreement was signed between Mr. Iyer’s A&A Capital and Vivek purportedly on behalf of Interworld PTY Ltd. Following the agreement, Mr. Iyer paid Rs.23 lakh as facilitation fee to the accused through two cheques.
“Though the payment did not come, Vivek continued to maintain that the loan would be approved soon. Vivek also issued a Rs.22 crore cheque to Mr. Iyer drawn on Dena Bank in Okhla. But the cheque was dishonoured. It was at this point that Mr. Iyer realised that he had been cheated and a complaint was lodged,” said DCP (Economic Offences Wing) K.K. Vyas. The Australian company denied having authorised Vivek to solicit business on its behalf. The letters forwarded by Vivek were also found to be forged.
