Seven directors of a finance firm have been charged for allegedly defrauding Axis Bank of Rs 22.29 crore, as per a Mumbai police official.
Charges
The case, involving charges of cheating, forgery, and criminal breach of trust, was registered at Cuffe Parade police station under the court’s directive.
Complaint
The FIR stems from a complaint filed by a 43-year-old assistant vice president of Axis Bank, the official stated.
“Directors of Better Value Leasing and Finance Limited Company colluded between March 2016 and March 2020, failing to repay loans acquired from Axis Bank. The firm had engaged in transactions with Axis Bank since 2005, periodically taking out loans,” the FIR outlined.
