Seven Booked for Alleged Rs 6.67 Crore Loan Fraud at Navi Mumbai Mathadi Credit Society
Authorities in Navi Mumbai have registered a case against seven individuals, including office-bearers and staff of the Baburao Ramishte Mathadi Kamgar Cooperative Credit Society, for allegedly embezzling Rs 6.67 crore through fraudulent loans. The accused reportedly created fake memberships and sanctioned loans in the names of Mathadi workers without their consent, using forged documents and signatures. The fraud came to light after workers received repayment notices for loans they never took, prompting police investigations and a forensic examination of the society's records.
