Waghmare told us that Faizal had worked in various multinational firms and hence he knew about the salary slips. While interrogating him, we came to know about Faizal. “Later, we took more information from the agency which verified the documents and we got Waghmare.
After verifying all the documents we came to know that all the documents were forged.” The bank has given a contract to a private agency to get all loan procedures and scrutiny done, Ingale said. The fraudster had submitted salary slips, identity proof, banks statements and address proof. Initially, we checked the submitted documents. Following this we started our investigations. Police sub inspector Vishal Ingale who is investigating the case said, “In the first week of November, we got an application from an international bank official saying that one Vishal Kapoor had submitted fake documents and got a loan of Rs9.99 lakh sanctioned. The police said that this was a new modus operandi and so it was quite difficult to catch the fraudsters, as they created salary slips which looked exactly like those given in various international firms. The investigators suspected that the duo could be part of an inter-state racket which operated in a similar way duping banks of lakhs of rupees. Investigations so far revealed that Ahmed, along with the help of his associate Waghmare, who worked as an agent with an international bank, duped 15 national and international banks in the city.
The two men - Faizal Nazir Ahmed (29) of Kharadi, originally from Jharkhand, and his associate Anant Khadu Waghmare (38) of Ghorpadi - have committed this huge fraud in the past two months. A 29-year-old man and his accomplice, who obtained loans of Rs53 lakh from various international banks allegedly by creating fake salary slips of well-known multinational firms, have been arrested by the Mundhwa police.
