Nagpur: Beltarodi Police have booked a former Punjab National Bank (PNB) assessment officer for allegedly executing a ₹1.32 crore personal-loan scam using forged documents across multiple branches in the city.
According to the complaint filed by Santoshkrishna Satyanarayanmurthy Annavarapu (42), Chief Manager at PNB Nagpur, the accused Anudeep Mungra, originally from Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) and currently residing in Manewada, was posted at the bank’s Loan Centre as an assessment officer.
Between July 1 and December 31, 2024, Mungra allegedly misused his official role by preparing fake loan proposals in the names of acquaintances and submitting them as genuine applications. These fraudulent documents were processed at several PNB branches, including Manish Nagar–Beltarodi, Somalwada, Fetri, Khamla, Itwari and Wadi-Dhamna.
Police said Mungra routed the sanctioned loan amounts into his and his relatives’ bank accounts for personal gain, causing a financial loss of over ₹1.32 crore to the bank.
Following an internal probe, PNB officials approached Beltarodi Police with evidence. A case under relevant sections of the BNS has been registered.
