Pune: A significant financial fraud case has come to light involving a couple who allegedly created fake documents to secure home loans amounting to ₹30 lakh from a finance company. The Mundhwa Police have filed charges of fraud against the husband and wife residing in Pimpri-Chinchwad.

According to the complaint lodged by Syed Kachruddin Sheikh (32), a resident of Gurudatta Colony, Bhekrai Nagar, Hadapsar, the fraudulent activities occurred between July 2023 and December 2023 at the Keshavnagar, Mundhwa office of Shubham Housing Development Finance Company.

The accused, identified as Ganesh Prakash Tanpure (32) and Jayshree Ganesh Tanpure (28), have been charged under IPC sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, and 34.

Police reports indicate that the couple conspired to create a false agreement of sale for a flat in Pimpri-Chinchwad, purportedly under the name of Nitin Bhaichand Talathi, at the Assistant Sub-Registrar’s office in Aundh.

Based on this fake agreement, they secured a home loan of ₹34.96 lakh from Bandhan Bank. They then created a counterfeit version of the agreement and used it to obtain a home loan of ₹29.9 lakh from Shubham Housing Development Finance Company.

Additionally, the accused fabricated an Aadhaar card and PAN card in the name of Nitin Talathi. Using these fake documents, they opened a bank account at Federal Bank in Pimpri-Chinchwad.

The loan amount approved by Shubham Finance Company was deposited into this account, which was then misappropriated by the accused. They also failed to repay the loan installments, resulting in a financial loss to Shubham Finance Company. The Mundhwa Police are currently investigating the case further.
