BOMBAY HC QUASHES FIR : Interpol told to release fraud accused

Mumbai: The Economic Offences Wing of the city police has, through the CBI, informed Interpol to release a woman, Bhavna Doshi, who was arrested in Abu Dhabi last December for a cheating case registered here.

According to cops , the letter was written after the Bombay HC quashed the First Information Report on January 4 after three other accused arrested in Mumbai settled the financial dispute with the complainant Kapol Co-operative bank.

Cops said this would be the first case where the Mumbai police is requesting UAE authorities to release an accused arrested in a cheating case. Police inspector Shalini Sharma of the extradition cell confirmed the news but refused to comment further.

Doshi, who fled India in 2005, was on the ‘Wanted’ list and the CBI had issued a red corner notice (RCN) on the request of the Mumbai police. According to the EOW, Doshi, along with her husband Prakash and a few others, had allegedly duped the bank of Rs1.5 crore by availing loans using bogus documents.

Some police officials said that even if the co-accused settled the matter out of the court, the case of forgery should be tried as the accused had created bogus documents. Sources said that it could take at least another ten days before Doshi is released.
