On April 10, 2026, a CBI court in Ahmedabad found three retired Punjab National Bank (PNB) employees guilty of bank fraud and sentenced six additional people, including ordinary citizens and a business.
Gurinder Singh, a retired assistant general manager, K.G.C.S. Iyer, a retired chief manager, and K.E. Surendranath, a retired senior manager, are the authorities found guilty. The court fined each of the three officials ₹1 lakh and sentenced them to two years of hard labor.
Sanjay Nagjibhai Patel was sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of ₹50,000, Satish Nagjibhai Davra to two years and a fine of ₹50,000, Hitesh Domadiya to three years and a fine of ₹1 lakh, Vaishaliben Davra to two years and a fine of ₹50,000, and Ramilaben Bhikadiya to two years and a fine of ₹50,000.
Additionally, M/s Jalpa Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. was fined ₹50,000 by the court. On August 22, 2016, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a case against Shailesh Bhikhabhai Satasia, proprietor of M/s Shree Kali Textiles, Surat, along with other accused including Sanjay Nagjibhai Patel and Satish Nagjibhai Davra, and unknown private persons and public servants.
The inquiry reveals that on July 10, 2011, M/s Shree Kali Textiles requested for a term loan of ₹3.70 crore with a cash credit limit of ₹40 lakh in order to buy 44 water jet weaving machines and for commercial operations. On July 29, 2011, then-AGM Gurinder Singh approved the loan on the advice of bank executives K.E. Surendranath and K.G.C.S. Iyer.
Together with collateral like land and residential apartments, the machines served as major security. In order to get the loan, the accused presented false documentation. The accused benefited unfairly from the loan's approval and disbursement by bank personnel, which cost Punjab National Bank, Surat ₹156.98 lakh plus interest.
