Ahmedabad, September 9: Two cases of cheating had been reported from different parts of the city on Saturday. In one case, a factory owner Dilip Bansal, along with his five accomplices, allegedly duped the Usmanpura branch of Union Bank of India of more than Rs 4 crore. Naranpura police said that Bansal, who owns a factory in Vatva, had taken two loans of Rs 4.25 crore and Rs 31.5 lakh respectively from the bank between March and August this year, reportedly for purchasing some machines for his factory. “Bansal, however, sold off these machines he was supposed to use at his factory,” Naranpura police inspector M K Padhiyar said. Based on a complaint filed by the branch manager Rohit Parekh, police have booked Bansal and others on charges of cheating. Investigation is on.

In an unrelated case of cheating, a resident of RK House on CG Road, Mukesh Patel lodged a complaint with Navrangpura police alleging Lendal Diyaz, a resident of Memnagar, of cheating him of Rs 1.2 lakh by forging documents. Diyaz alleged that Patel had taken him into confidence by promising him student visa and dependent visa and took a cash of Rs 1.2 lakh from him. This happened in the period between January 16 and April 6 last year.

Patel then allegedly took old passports and put false Singapore stamp on them. Complaint was lodged with Navrangpura police.
