Kolkata police busts fake finance firm, three arrested in loan scam case

Kolkata police have arrested Shubhajit Dey, Gautam Naskar, and Rohit Das for allegedly operating a fraudulent loan scheme under the name "Go App Financing & Private Limited." The company, based in Krishnapur Prafulla Kanan, posed as a travel agency while running a call center to collect personal data and falsely promise loans. The accused allegedly targeted individuals across North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly, Nadia, and Murshidabad, obtaining financial details under the pretense of loan approvals.

Following a written complaint by Baguihati police sub-inspector Pradeep Kumar Haldar, a joint team from Bidhannagar Cyber Crime, Bidhannagar Detective Branch, and Baguihati police conducted a raid at AC 92/1, Keshtopur Prafulla Kanan. Officials seized documents, digital records, and other evidence related to the alleged scam. The three accused were presented before the Barasat court, and police have taken them into custody for further questioning. Authorities are now investigating how the company accessed sensitive personal data and whether more individuals or organizations were involved.

Police have urged the public to remain cautious while sharing financial details and verify the authenticity of loan providers. Investigators are analyzing seized records to determine the total amount of money involved in the fraud and the number of victims affected. Further legal proceedings are underway, and law enforcement is working to identify additional suspects linked to the scheme.
