Published On : 28 Jul 2017   |  Reported By : Canaranews Network


Mangaluru: In the wake of Udupi incident wherein a jeweller who had pledged fake loans with a co-operative bank, ended his life after poisoning his wife and daughters, Bunder police have arrested a couple hailing from Maryhill near Bondel in the city on the charges of cheating the Catholic Syrian Bank’s branch near Falnir by pledging fake gold and availing loans to the tune of Rs 4.5 crore.

The arrest was made following a complaint lodged by the bank staff after they found that the jewels pledged by the couple were fake. The accused are Vidyananda Rao (59) and his wife Lalitha Rao (52). The accused used to give gold coating to bronze jewels making it difficult to identify even for the Bank’s jewel appraiser.

Further investigations are underway.
