MUMBAI: A two-BHK flat worth Rs 2 crore on Goregaon-Mulund Link Road belonging to an autorickshaw driver, who was arrested by Bhandup police for allegedly cheating people in a Ponzi scheme, has been attached under the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI) after he defaulted on a bank loan.
The court commissioner on Monday seized the flat.
Punjab National Bank had filed a complaint that Haroon Sattar Shaikh, his wife Nilofar Shaikh and Halima Shaikh had taken a home loan of Rs 1.8 crore from the bank in 2019.
"The borrowers have committed default in repayment of the financial assistance as agreed and their account has been classified as non-performing asset (NPA) in 2020. Advocate Sunil Pandey is appointed as court commissioner to take over possession of the aforesaid secured asset," said M R A Shaikh, additional chief metropolitan magistrate Esplanade.
The court also directed payment of Rs 10,000 to the court commissioner as fee and police as well as police protection.
The magistrate also noted that it was difficult to understand that the borrower was an autorickshaw driver then how did the bank grant him such a huge loan.
The order also mentioned that the security guard and manager of the housing society said the outstanding maintenance amount is Rs 6.8 lakh till date for the flat.
