The Dharavi police have arrested a conman for taking loans from Muthoot Fincorp Private Limited against fake gold. The arrested accused’s associate, who is still at large, was the mastermind of the crime as he hatched the plan and took loan twice using the other’s Aadhaar card. On their third attempt, officials of the financial company became suspicious and on checking the gold, they found it to be fake.
According to information received from the police, on December 1, Harshada Shirshat, manager of the Dharavi-Sion branch of Muthoot Fincorp Private Limited lodged a complaint in the matter. In the complaint Shirshat mentioned that a couple of days back two people visited the branch and took loan against gold. Both have been identified as Mahendra Giri and Sahil K. Giri told Shirshat that Sahil’s mother’s health was deteriorating and he needed money.
