Bank Manager sent to three years jail in bribery case

A special CBI court in Bhopal has sentenced a Punjab National Bank (PNB) Manager to three years of rigorous imprisonment for taking bribe in return for approving a loan.
The banker, identified as S C Nanda, was also fined an amount of Rs 10,000 in the 2007 case.
CBI arrested Nanda with the bribe amount after a complainant alerted had the agency that the Manager, then posted at a PNB branch in Madhya Pradesh's Hoshangabad district, had "demanded illegal gratification of Rs 10,000 from him for accepting his loan proposal under Prime Minister Rojgar Yojna (PMRY) scheme and its subsequent sanction."

"The trial court found the accused guilty and convicted him," a CBI spokesperson said here.
In an another case related to sentencing by the CBI court in Bhopal, a Section Engineer (Works) of West Central Railway was meted out the same punishment in a bribery case involving Rs 2,000.
The Engineer has been identified as Yogendra K Pandey and the case was registered by CBI in 2007 when he was posted in Pipariya in MP.
CBI said Pandey had "demanded a bribe of Rs 5,000 from the complainant for issuing required form for medical check-up for the purpose of her transfer to Nagpur Division from Jabalpur Division."

The agency also has filed ten chargesheets against 15 people who were alleged to have cheated the UCO Bank in Indore by "forging title deeds of properties offered as securities".
