3. As per the FIR dated 17.09.2024 lodged by the informant before the Jorhat Sadar Police Station, the case is that the petitioner introduced two persons stating them to be manager and credit manager of HDB Finance stating that they would help him to obtain loan from the said HDB Finance. Believing the petitioner, the informant requested those two persons from the HDB Finance for a loan and those two persons told him that he will get such loan shortly, preferably within a period of three months. To provide him the loan, the two persons introduced by the petitioner took signature from the informant and also took substantial amount of money as processing fee for the said loan. As the informant did not receive any such loan amount, he went to the office of the HDB Finance and came to know that the two persons introduced by the petitioner are not the employees of the HDB Finance. Then the informant called upon the petitioner to the office of the HDB Finance. Instead of visiting the office of said HDB Finance, the petitioner asked the informant to come to a different place. In the said place, the informant along with the personnel of said HDB Finance met the petitioner and the officer of said HDB Finance identifying the petitioner stated that he is not an employee of the said financial institution. Since the petitioner and the two persons impersonated introducing them to be HDB Finance officials, cheated the informant, he filed the FIR on 17.09.2024 that was accordingly registered as Jorhat Police Station Case No. 383/2024 under Sections 61(2)/318(4)/336(3)/319(2) of BNS, 2023.
