Bengaluru: Four arrested for using students' bank accounts in online fraud scheme
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Southeast Division CEN police have arrested four individuals in connection with an online investment scam that exploited students' bank accounts for fraudulent activities.
The accused, identified as Abhay Daan Charan (19), Aravind Kumar (19), Pawan Bishnoi (18), and Sawai Singh (21), hail from Rajasthan. They allegedly lured the public by offering part-time jobs involving online ratings with promises of high returns. Initially, they provided small profits to gain trust, but later convinced victims to invest in online platforms, only to siphon off their money.
One victim, who lost ₹12.43 lakh to the scam, filed a complaint with the Southeast Division CEN police. Investigations revealed that the accused had opened multiple bank accounts under the names of students to carry out their fraudulent activities.
Based on the leads, two of the accused were apprehended from Udaipur, Rajasthan, while the remaining two were arrested from a paying guest accommodation in Bommanahalli, Bengaluru.
The police seized 19 mobile phones, 2 laptops, 20 SIM cards, 34 bank passbooks, 106 credit and debit cards, 39 cheque books, and ₹75,000 in cash from the accused. These items were used in executing the fraud.
Further investigation is underway.
