Two Ahmedabad constables suspended for involvement in ₹2 crore scam

Updated: Sep 25th, 2024


Two police constables were suspended in relation to the case of freezing ₹2 crore of a businessman over a forged complaint of cyber fraud.

The constables, stationed in the Ranip and Naranpura areas, are accused of creating a fraudulent e-cheating application to extort money from the victim.

The scheme was orchestrated near the Ranip D-Mart, where suspect Kartik, residing in a paying guest accommodation, submitted a bogus e-cheating complaint. And the police department started working on the same.

Without conducting any preliminary investigation, the police acted on the complaint, resulting in the businessman’s account being frozen. He was then informed that it would cost him 10% of the frozen amount to unfreeze his account.

Realising that something was seriously amiss, the businessman reached out to senior police officials, leading to the discovery of the fraudulent complaint. 

Investigators found that police officers had colluded with an accomplice to file the complaint of e-cheating using the businessman’s bank details.

In addition to the suspended constables, other suspects named in the investigation include Jaydeep and Vishal, who are also being scrutinised for their roles in the scam. 

Authorities are continuing to investigate the case to determine the full extent of the fraud and any additional individuals who may have been involved.
