Manoj Srivastava, the Branch Manager of Union Bank of India's SSI Branch in Noida, was sentenced to four years in prison and a fine of Rs.30,000 by a CBI court in Ghaziabad on Saturday in relation to a bank fraud case.
The CBI claims that during his tenure as Branch Manager from May 2007 to June 2009, Srivastava misused his official position and colluded with others to approve a Rs.40 lakh loan to Rajeev Buddhiraja, the owner of M/s Bharti Associates, using falsified and fabricated documentation. The bank suffered an unjustified loss as a result.
A charge sheet against Srivastava, Anil Kumar Govil (Accountant, Union Bank of India), and Buddhiraja was filed in September 2012 after the case was lodged by the CBI in December 2010. In July 2017, the court formally framed charges.
In an application to enter a guilty plea before the CBI Special Court in Ghaziabad on August 22, 2025, Srivastava acknowledged his involvement in the fraud. The court accepted his plea, found him guilty, and sentenced him on Saturday.
