Loan scam: Case against education consultancy for duping finance firm of Rs 2.5 crore; police probe in Telangana
HYDERABAD: The economic offences wing (EOW) of Cyberabad police has registered a case of cheating and criminal intimidation against the directors of an education consultancy accused of defrauding a city-based non-banking financial company (NBFC) of over Rs 2.5 crore. According to a complaint filed by Keerthi Kumar Jain (44), director of the NBFC, the company disbursed a loan of Rs 1.5 crore on Feb 28, 2024, to an Erragadda-based education consultancy, represented by its directors B Kishore Kumar and B Shravan Kumar Beengi. The loan was sanctioned based on invoice receivables and employee details submitted by the accused. However, a subsequent internal audit revealed that the invoice was fabricated and the employee records were forged. When the NBFC confronted the consultancy and suspended further disbursals, the accused allegedly severed all communication and even issued threats of 'grave consequences' to complainant. "To date, not a single instalment has been repaid. The borrowers are deliberately evading contact, indicating clear intent to cheat from the beginning," Jain said in his complaint. As of March 29, 2025, the outstanding dues, including principal, interest, and charges, amounted to Rs 2.25 crore. Despite repeated visits, calls, emails, and legal notices, there has been no response from the borrowers, prompting the NBFC to approach the police. Based on the complaint, Cyberabad EOW registered a case on June 17 against Kishore and Shravan under sections 318(4) (cheating), 316(2) (criminal breach of trust), read with 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police have initiated an investigation and are currently verifying loan documents and financial transaction details between both parties.

One arrested for selling forest land as residential plots
Adilabad: The district police have arrested one person for claiming ownership of forest land and selling it to victims as residential plots. At a press conference on Saturday at Mavala Police Station, DSP L Jeevan Reddy stated that based on a complaint filed by Shobha Murarka (wife of late Nandakishore Murarka), police arrested Vakulabharanam Adinath, while his wife Vakulabharanam Rajini is currently absconding. 'In 2010, Adinath falsely claimed ownership of forest land near Khanapur, converted it into plotted land, and sold four plots (Nos. 57, 58, 59, and 60) to the complainant for Rs 3.3 lakh. In 2022, forest officials took over these plots after identifying them as forest land. When the complainant confronted the accused and demanded her money back, he responded dismissively, saying to approach the court and even threatened her if she informed others,' said the DSP. Adinath was produced before a magistrate and sent to 14 days of judicial remand. The DSP confirmed that both revenue and forest authorities verified the land to be forest property. He emphasised that Adilabad police are taking strict action against land grabbers and warned that those engaging in document forgery and public deception will face severe consequences.
