Taking serious note of an incident of a banker allegedly asking sexual favours from a woman to clear a crop loan, the Buldhana district authorities have formed a team to nab the accused, state government officials said on Saturday.
Rajesh Hivase, bank manager with the Central Bank of India in Buldhana, along with a peon, Manoj Chavan, was booked on Thursday after a woman, who had applied for a crop loan with the bank at Datala village, filed a complaint.
The incident happened on June 18 and the complaint was filed on Thursday, officials said. A statement by the government said that Buldhana collector Nirupama Dange would personally monitor the case.
“As soon as the incident came to light, the collector spoke to the superintendent of police and sought immediate arrest of the accused,” the statement said.
Peon Manoj Chavan, 37 was arrested on Saturday from Daryapur village, Girish Bobade, DSP, Buldhana said. He added thatpolice teams had been sent to the accused’s Wardha and Nagpur residences.
Earlier, senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan condemned the incident and said
“Farmers are not getting loan waiver or crop insurance and cannot even avail crop loans. The incident of a branch manager seeking sexual favours from a farmer’s wife in lieu of processing a loan is shocking and condemnable.”
According to the police, Hivase had taken the contact details of the complainant, when she had visited the bank along with her husband, and then called her later that day demanding sexual favours in return for processing the loan application.
Later, police said, Hivase sent peon Chavan to the woman’s house to get her to agree to his demands. PTI
