The fraudulent mother-son duo, with the help of their two associates, defrauded ICICI Bank of Rs 4.45 crore. After taking loan twice by claiming someone else’s land and house as their own, they took out the money and digested it. When the bank employees did an investigation when the installment was not deposited, the secret came to light.
