The crime branch of the Jammu and Kashmir Police has arrested five accused, including a former manager of the Jammu and Kashmir Bank, in connection with an alleged multi-crore-rupee loan scam here, the agency said on Tuesday.
The case was registered in 2023 on a written complaint from Mohammad Shakeel, the chief manager of the supervision and control division of the bank’s Jammu zonal office.
The complainant alleged that Saleem Yousuf Bhatti, a contractual employee of the Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), Poonch, and others got the inactive accounts of the watershed committee in the bank’s Lassana branch in Surankote activated.
