The CBI on Wednesday arrested Satish Kumar Anand, a proclaimed offender in a 47-year-old bank fraud case, from Rohini Sector 8 in Delhi. In 1978, the CBI had registered a case against the then bank manager, Satish Kumar Anand and persons named Ashok Kumar for a fraud of Rs 5.69 lakh by giving an advance loan to a private company. Among them, Ashok Kumar and Satish Kumar Anand have been sentenced in 1985. According to the CBI, the case pertains to the Bank of India branch in Dehradun. At that time, Satish Kumar Anand, originally from Delhi, worked as a middleman in the bank. Anand used to help companies and individuals get loans from the bank. Similarly, he came to the bank in 1977 with an application for a private company.
Fake bills were in the documents
It was alleged that he got the advance loan for the company in connivance with the manager at that time. The documents presented for this included fake bills etc. A person named Ashok Kumar was also involved with him in this work. All of them cheated the bank of Rs 5.69 lakh in the name of getting a loan. When the CBI received the complaint, a case was registered against all three on May 5, 1978. A charge sheet was filed against all three by the CBI. But, in 1985, the Special Court CBI Dehradun acquitted the then bank manager due to lack of evidence. Whereas, Ashok Kumar and Satish Kumar Anand were sentenced to five years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 15,000 each.
The accused was changing his hideouts
But, Satish Kumar Anand was absconding since that time. The court had issued an order in 2009 declaring him a proclaimed offender. The CBI was continuously searching for him. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, he was arrested from Rohini Sector 8, Delhi. During interrogation, he told the CBI that he was changing his hideouts at various places in Delhi. Satish Kumar Anand is currently 75 years old, whom the CBI presented in the Special Court. From here he has been sent to Sudhowala jail.
