She appeared in court and was identified by family members. The judge found the police investigation suspicious, noting no prima facie evidence against Suresh.

In addition ,the Inspector General of Police (Mysuru Division) was directed to conduct departmental inquiry against Prakash and three colleagues from Bettadapura Police Station: Jitendra Kumar, Prakash M Yattinamani, and Mahesh BK.

Manager among 3 arrested for theft of 58 kg of gold from Canara Bank in Karnataka
Vijayapura police have arrested three persons on the charge of robbing the Canara Bank branch in Managuli on May 25. Superintendent of Police Laxman Nimbaragi told reporters in Vijayapura on June 26 that the arrested persons are Vijayakumar Mohanara Miriyala, 41, Senior Manager of Canara Bank, and his accomplices Chandrashekar Kotilingam Nerella, 38, and Sunil Narrasimhalu Moka, 40. Gold jewellery and bars worth ₹10.75 crore, and two cars used during the offence were seized. The search for the remaining accused and the stolen items is underway. The accused had carried out the robbery after detailed planning and reconnaissance. They had placed some material in the bank branch to divert the attention of the police. Earlier, bank officials had complained to the police that thieves had broken into the bank branch between May 23 and 25 by cutting the rods in a window. They broke open a safe locker and stole 58.97 kg of gold ornaments worth an estimated ₹53.26 crore and ₹5,20,450 in cash. They had taken away the CCTV equipment to conceal their identity. Managuli police had registered a case under Sections 331(3), 331(4), 305(E) of the BNS 2023. According to the SP, the thieves first broke the lock at the entrance to enter the bank. They turned off the alarm and used a duplicate key to open a locker. The probe revealed that only one locker, containing gold, was opened. Gold in another locker was left intact. Police suspected that the thieves had complete information about the bank. The SP said a bank window was broken and a black doll was worshipped to create an impression of black magic. This may have been done to divert the attention of the investigators, the police official said. The SP had formed eight teams to solve the case. Mr. Nimbaragi said that the investigators worked under the direction of Additional SPs Shankar Marihal and Ramanagouda Hatti. Teams were formed under the leadership of Deputy SPs T.S. Sulpi, Sunil Kamble and Ballappa Nandgavi. They included Circle Inspectors Ramesh Avaji, Gurushantha Dashyal and Ashoka Chavan, and Sub-inspectors Srikanth Kamble, Ashoka Nayak, Devaraj Ullagaddi, Basavaraj Tippareddy, Rakesh Bagali, Somesh Gejji, Vinod Dodamani, Vinod Poojary, Shivanand Patil, Yatheesh K. and Nagaratna Uppaladinni. The SP has congratulated the teams for collecting appropriate evidence in a scientific manner. The accused were produced in court in Vijayapura on June 26.

Mumbai CA arrested in Rs 2.4 crore car loan fraud racket; police bust expanding scam network
MUMBAI: Mumbai Police have busted a car loan scam and arrested a self-proclaimed Chartered Accountant for masterminding a large-scale loan fraud racket worth Rs 2.4 crore. The scam exploited banking loopholes and identity documents of unsuspecting individuals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Kalachowky police on Sunday arrested Rahul Giri Shah, alias Sachin, alias Saurabh, and are looking for his accomplices. The fraud allegedly began in August 2023 when complainant Suhash Mestri, a 40-year-old supervisor at the KC Mahindra Education Trust, was introduced to accused Shah through a mutual friend, Harshal Gangurde. Shah claimed he had connections with major hotels and govt departments and proposed a car rental business model. In this model, new vehicles purchased on bank loans in Mestri's name would be leased for monthly profit. He promised to take care of all EMIs and down payments. Enticed by the seemingly risk-free deal, Mestri and his wife provided their documents, unknowingly allowing Shah to obtain 15 to 18 car loans and a personal loan from multiple banks and NBFCs, including SBI, Bajaj Finance, Kotak Mahindra, AU Bank, Hero Finance, and UCO Bank, totalling ₹2.15 crore. Shah also took ₹5.09 lakh for down payments and made Mestri purchase two mobile phones and two laptops worth ₹1.32 lakh on EMI. Police said the accused purchased cars on loans; however, not a single instalment was paid by Shah or his associates. By February 2025, Mestri paid ₹18.85 lakh from his own savings toward EMIs, only to later discover that the vehicles were misused, his and his wife's documents had been exploited, and the promised profits were a sham. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'They took advantage of our trust and left us burdened with loans for cars we never used,' said Mestri in his complaint. While Shah was initially arrested by Achole Police (Vasai) in connection with a similar offence, the Kalachowky Police took his custody and booked him under Sections 316, 318(4), and 3(5) of the BNS 2023 after Mestri came forward. In the course of the investigation, police detained one more person who allegedly helped process fraudulent loans and transfer the funds to Shah. During interrogation, the accused confessed that the vehicles were handed over to Paras Botadara and Vijay Rajpurohit, suspected to be key players in the wider racket. Police are now actively tracing both individuals. Authorities have so far seized two of the 15 vehicles—a Hyundai i20 worth ₹12.96 lakh and a Hyundai i10 worth ₹8.12 lakh—and are pursuing the recovery of the remaining cars. 'Panchanamas were conducted, and we have collected digital evidence, including chat records and account transactions,' said an official. Investigators believe the fraud could involve multiple other victims, and additional arrests are likely. The case has sparked renewed concerns over identity misuse and the ease with which fraudsters exploit banking systems and documentation vulnerabilities under the guise of legitimate business ventures.
