Dharamshala:Criminals executed a fraudulent scheme, securing a loan amounting to lakhs from a bank in the name of a Shimla girl residing in Mumbai.
Operating from Mumbai during the lockdown, the perpetrators orchestrated the fraud, leaving the victim, a Sanjoli resident, in distress.
A case of fraud against unidentified individuals has been filed by the girl at the Dhali police station.
Details provided in the complaint reveal that the victim, formerly employed at a private company in Mumbai three years ago, resided in a rented accommodation in the city. In 2021, she applied for a new debit/ATM card, which was slated for delivery to her Mumbai address.
However, amidst the lockdown, the victim returned to Shimla from Mumbai after leaving her job and subsequently getting married. During this transition, her debit card was delivered to her Mumbai address, falling into the hands of criminals. Furthermore, the SIM card linked to the bank, containing her mobile number, was also misplaced.
Exploiting these acquired assets, the perpetrators fraudulently obtained loans amounting to lakhs, leading to financial distress for the victim. The Dhali police station in-charge confirmed the registration of a case against an unknown individual based on the victim’s complaint, with investigations underway.
