Seven arrested Interstate fraud racket busted in Haryana:

Palwal, November 1
Haryana Police have arrested a seventh member of an alleged interstate fraud racket that used forged Aadhaar and PAN documents, fabricated verification reports and fraudulent banking credentials to secure a loan for a Hyundai Creta SUV before selling the vehicle at a reduced price, officials said on Saturday.
The latest accused, identified as Nishu Bhamras, a resident of Chandpur village in Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor district and currently living in Mayur Vihar Phase III, Delhi, was arrested on November 13 by the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), Hodal.
Police said the accused allegedly used a computer to prepare a fabricated verification report that formed part of the fraudulent loan process. Investigators are seeking his police remand to recover the computer allegedly used in the crime.
According to CIA Hodal in-charge Amit Kumar, the case was registered at Sadar Palwal police station following a complaint by Gauri Shankar, a resident of Rajpura village in Palwal district.The complainant alleged that the accused fraudulently altered the address on his father's Aadhaar card, obtained a new PAN card and opened a bank account using manipulated identity documents.
Armed with the fabricated documents and verification reports, the accused allegedly secured financing from a bank branch in Gurugram, purchased a Hyundai Creta SUV and subsequently sold it at a lower price.Police said the investigation uncovered the alleged involvement of several individuals in preparing forged identity documents, arranging bank finance and submitting false address and office verification reports.
Six suspects had already been arrested, including alleged kingpin Saleem of Utawar village, Jahul alias Armaan, also of Utawar, who allegedly prepared the forged Aadhaar card, and Saurabh Srivastava, originally from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh and residing in Gurugram, who allegedly facilitated the loan process.
The other accused arrested earlier included Vikas Sahani of Delhi, who allegedly submitted a false address verification report, and Riyaz Ahmed and Ansu, who were allegedly involved in preparing fabricated office verification documents.
Police said all six had been sent to judicial custody.
During the investigation, police recovered the Hyundai Creta, mobile phones, a laptop, cash allegedly linked to the fraud and a screenshot of a fabricated office verification report.Investigators suspect that the accused performed different roles in obtaining fraudulent identification documents, securing loan approval and disposing of the vehicle.
The latest arrest is expected to help investigators examine how the forged verification reports were prepared and used in the financing process.
Police said efforts were underway to apprehend other suspected members of the racket and establish the full extent of the alleged fraud.
Further investigation is continuing under the supervision of Palwal Superintendent of Police Deepti Garg. UNI KK SS
