Police bust fake loan racket in Park Street, arrest 6 people for posing as employees of Aditya Birla Finance

A major fraud racket involving fake loan approvals has been unearthed by police under the Park Street Police Station, leading to the arrest of six individuals accused of impersonating employees of Aditya Birla Finance. The case was registered based on a complaint filed by Mou Mondal, who alleged that she was cheated of ₹18,300 through forged documents and false assurances of loan approval.

According to police, the accused persons entered into a criminal conspiracy and created fabricated loan documents, posing as officials of the finance company to gain the trust of victims. They allegedly used these forged papers to deceive multiple individuals, misappropriating money under the pretext of processing loans. During the investigation, officials seized 32 keypad mobile phones, multiple SIM cards, attendance registers and script diaries, indicating an organised operation. All seized items have been secured as evidence. The accused were detained and later arrested from the police station premises during questioning as the probe gathered momentum.

Police confirmed that all six arrested individuals will be produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Kolkata, with a request for police custody for two accused and judicial custody for the remaining four. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are probing the extent of the fraud network and identifying additional victims linked to the scam.
