A branch manager of Central Bank of India in the Buldhana district of Maharashtra has been booked for allegedly demanding sexual favours from a farmer's wife seeking crop loan, the police said on Saturday.
The woman had accompanied her husband to the bank where they had applied for a crop loan at Datala in Malakapur Tehsil on Friday morning.
Branch manager Rajesh Hivase sought the woman's contact details for processing the loan application after which he called her up and allegedly used obscene language and demanded sexual favours.
Later, Hivase sent a peon to the woman's home, asking her to agree with his demands.
The peon allegedly told the woman that Hivase will pass the required farm loan and also extend benefits under a special package if she agreed.
The woman recorded the phone conversation and filed a complaint with the local police the same day.
A complaint has been registered against the manager and the peon under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and also sections of the Prevention of Atrocities Act.
The accused are absconding and efforts are on to nab them, the police added.
