The complainant had secured a Cash Credit (CC) limit\/loan of \u20b940 Lakhs for the factory from IDBI Bank. Due to non-payment, the loan matter is currently sub-judice before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) in Chandigarh.<\/p>\n<p>On 25-05-2026, an individual named Ravneet Singh approached the complainant. Introducing himself falsely as an employee of Tehsil East, Ludhiana. Ravneet Singh served a notice bearing the signature of the Tehsil East authority to the complainant. He informed the complainant that IDBI Bank was scheduled to take over the property on 28-05-2026. Accused Ravneet Singh then demanded a bribe of \u20b960,000 to delay the possession, promising that he would arrange a three-month extension to settle the loan.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that Ravneet Singh had already accepted a first instalment of \u20b920,000, allegedly on behalf of other officials, to facilitate the settlement. Ravneet Singh was further demanding a second instalment of \u20b910,000. The complainant recorded the conversation while demanding bribe.<\/p>\n<p>Unwilling to pay the illegal gratification, complainant approached the VB range Ludhiana. Acting on his complaint, the VB team laid a trap during which the accused recovery agent was arrested red handed while accepting bribe money of Rs 10,000\/- from the complainant in presence of two official witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>During the investigation Accused Ravneet Singh was not found an employee of Tehsil East District Ludhiana. Ravneet Singh was found to be working as a recovery agent in Savior Recovery Agency Ludhiana. If the role of any officer\/employee of IDBI Bank or Tehsil East comes to light, then it will be considered during the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, a case under prevention of corruption act has been registered against the accused at VB police station Ludhiana and further investigation into this case is under progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh News (7 July 2026): The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) during its ongoing drive against corruption in the state, has apprehended Ravneet Singh Recovery Agent working in the company of Saviour Recovery Agency, Ludhiana, red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs. 10,000\/-.
