Loan scam: Case against education consultancy for duping finance firm of Rs 2.5 crore; police probe in Telangana
HYDERABAD: The economic offences wing (EOW) of Cyberabad police has registered a case of cheating and criminal intimidation against the directors of an education consultancy accused of defrauding a city-based non-banking financial company (NBFC) of over Rs 2.5 crore. According to a complaint filed by Keerthi Kumar Jain (44), director of the NBFC, the company disbursed a loan of Rs 1.5 crore on Feb 28, 2024, to an Erragadda-based education consultancy, represented by its directors B Kishore Kumar and B Shravan Kumar Beengi. The loan was sanctioned based on invoice receivables and employee details submitted by the accused. However, a subsequent internal audit revealed that the invoice was fabricated and the employee records were forged. When the NBFC confronted the consultancy and suspended further disbursals, the accused allegedly severed all communication and even issued threats of 'grave consequences' to complainant. "To date, not a single instalment has been repaid. The borrowers are deliberately evading contact, indicating clear intent to cheat from the beginning," Jain said in his complaint. As of March 29, 2025, the outstanding dues, including principal, interest, and charges, amounted to Rs 2.25 crore. Despite repeated visits, calls, emails, and legal notices, there has been no response from the borrowers, prompting the NBFC to approach the police. Based on the complaint, Cyberabad EOW registered a case on June 17 against Kishore and Shravan under sections 318(4) (cheating), 316(2) (criminal breach of trust), read with 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police have initiated an investigation and are currently verifying loan documents and financial transaction details between both parties.

SpiceJet asked to pay Rs 25,000 compensation to passenger for issuing wrong ticket
MUMBAI: A consumer commission here has held that a senior citizen suffered "monetarily and mentally" after SpiceJet issued incorrect tickets while rerouting his journey in 2020, and directed the airline to pay a compensation of Rs 25,000 to the passenger. The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Mumbai (Suburban), in the order passed on June 17, held the budget carrier guilty of "deficient service and negligent behaviour" for the error which caused "mental harassment" to the passenger. In view of the urgent need of the passenger (age not specified in the order), the airline had made an alternate booking - where the wrong ticket was issued - after his initial flight was cancelled due to bad weather. The commission acknowledged that the flight cancellation was beyond the control of the airline, and the Air Traffic Control (ATC) had taken the decision in view of the passengers' safety. It noted the airline had taken all the necessary efforts to provide an alternate ticket to the complainant, However, the said ticket was incorrect and thereby the complainant suffered "monetarily and mentally", it said. The commission further stated the complainant also "acted negligently". "Had the complainant checked the ticket when it was issued, the mistake could have been rectified on the spot and the complainant could have saved himself from further hardship," it said. The complainant, a senior citizen residing in Ghatkopar area here, booked Spicejet tickets from Mumbai to Darbhanga for December 5, 2020, and a return journey two days later.
