Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Rajendra Nagar police registered a case of fraud against three individuals for allegedly luring auto drivers and delivery boys with Rs 5,000 to open bank accounts, which were later used for illegal transactions worth lakhs without the knowledge of the actual account holders, an official said on Tuesday.
According to the police, the case was registered against Shashank Geete alias Laddu of Vidurnagar, Tushar Rajput and Gaurav alias Rudra Malviya of Khategaon, Dewas, on the complaint of Ajay Ahirwar, an auto driver from Rishi Vihar Nagar, along with Rameshwar Mehta, an employee of an electronic shop and Sunil Minawa, a delivery boy.
Ajay Ahirwar informed the police that he was struggling financially when one of his acquaintances Golu introduced him to Shashank Geete. The accused convinced Ajay and others to open bank accounts in exchange for Rs 5,000. However, the accounts were misused for fraudulent transactions worth lakhs without the account holders’ knowledge.
During interrogation, Shashank Geete allegedly told the police that he opened the bank accounts of Ajay, Rameshwar and Sunil in UCO Bank Rajwada and Indian Bank, Ranjit Hanuman Road on the request of Tushar Rajput and Gaurav Malviya for which he got Rs 8,000 per account.
