Punjab Men Arrested in Separate Loan Fraud Cases in Delhi and AmbalaPreviousNext

Delhi and Ambala police arrested two Punjab residents, Ajay Kumar and Rahil, for their alleged involvement in separate loan fraud cases. Kumar is accused of participating in a syndicate that fraudulently obtained nearly Rs 1.6 crore in loans using stolen Aadhaar and PAN details of about 50 victims. Rahil allegedly duped an Ambala businessman by promising a loan and extracting over Rs 77,000 in fees without disbursing any amount. Investigations continue to identify accomplices and recover funds.
