Rs 4 lakh fraud with vanishing ink
When Anindita Roy gave two cancelled cheques signed by her as a pre-condition to get a personal loan from a private bank, little did she realize that these cheques will be used to pump out all her savings of more than Rs 4 lakh. The man who posed as the agent of the bank had applied ‘volatile’ ink and erased the word ‘cancelled’ from the cheques.
The fraudster, Arijit Sen alias Sourav Ghosh, was arrested by the Kolkata Police detective department on Tuesday.
It was in November 2011 that Sen had approached Anindita and her husband Soutam Ghosh for a personal loan. After Anindita agreed to apply for the loan, she was asked to provide photocopies of her photo identity card, bank statement and three cheques — the documents required for a personal loan.
