In a fraudulent scam in Saran district, three individuals, including a woman, were arrested for defrauding a man of Rs45.86 lakh from his bank account. The criminals, identified as Vikas Sharma, Subhash Pal, and Sunita Devi, used fake legal threats to coerce the victim into transferring the large sum of money.
According to police reports, the victim was tricked by the fraudsters, who posed as officials from a legal authority and intimidated him with false accusations of a legal violation.
The victim, fearing the threats, was manipulated into transferring a total of Rs 45.86 lakh to the accounts provided by the scammers. However, after the fraud was discovered, the victim filed a complaint with local authorities.
Following the investigation, the police arrested the three accused—Vikas Sharma, Subhash Pal, and Sunita Devi—who were allegedly involved in executing the scam. Despite their arrests, the Rs45.86 lakh remains unrecovered as the fraudsters had already siphoned off the funds.
A case has been filed under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including charges of cheating, criminal intimidation, and impersonation. The police are continuing their investigations to uncover more details about the scam and track any further accomplices involved.
