Five members of a gang were arrested by the STF for allegedly duping various banks by taking loans using fake documents on account of bogus companies floated by them, police said today.
The accused, identified as Mohsin Khan, Tanuj Sharma, Rajesh Sharma, Danish Chibbar, and Ravi Kant Mishra were arrested yesterday from Noida and Greater Noida by the Special Task Force of Uttar Pradesh police, a police spokesperson said.
Six vehicles and a large number of PAN cards, debit cards, cheque books and driving licences were seized from their possession, he said.

The vehicles taken on auto loan were later sold to other customers, the spokesperson said.
