Bhusan Steel defrauded 33 banks, financial institutions in 7 years


                                 Sanjay Singal



The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has claimed that Bhusan Steel defrauded 33 banks and financial institutions in past 7 years. The ED claimed this in its charge sheet that was filed against Bhusan Power and Steel (BPSL)  in connection with money laundering. In its charge sheet, the ED has named Sanjay Singal,  the then chairman-cum-managing director of Bhusan Steel as the main conspirator behind the fraud. Along with Singal, 23 others have been charged for providing accommodation entries facilitating the process of money laundering. The loan taken from the bank were not used for the purpose they were sanctioned. Similarly, the company has used forged documents for taking loan. The ED claims that they have found evidence of Rs.204.31 crore in the form of immovable properties belonging to the company under the control of Sanjay Singal. The ED had initiated its investigation under PMLA on the basis of FIR filed by CBI on April 5 2019 against Bhusan Steel and others for criminal conspiracy with unknown public servants of banks and other financial institutions. According to my view the chairman should have utilized the money for the it has been sanctioned. This type of unethical issues are seen much more nowadays, government should make strict rules against it. Similarly the banks as well as other financial institutions should cross check the documents before sanctioning loan.
