MUMBAI: A Dubai-based NRI businessman who was booked along with his father for allegedly cheating a foreign bank of Rs 8 crore was granted bail by the sessions court after the businessman contended that the property towards security of loan facility availed to him with the bank is already auctioned by the bank and the entire amount with due interest has been recovered and the chargesheet already filed.
Additional Sessions judge SM Tapkire directed Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police that in event of arrest, the accused, Mahesh Choudhary, be released on executing a personal bond of Rs 10 lakh.
The court observed that the chargesheet has already been filed and the custodial interrogations were not necessary and directed Choudhary to cooperate with the investigation, not tamper with evidence and not leave the country without prior permission.
The court observed that since 2014, the BKC police registered the cheating case against Choudhary and his father, police did nothing to arrest the accused and even the bank which had filed four cases of cheque bouncing against the accused’s company withdrew them in October.
