The Malad police recently arrested a 22-year-old carpenter from New Delhi for allegedly defrauding an accountant of Rs 2.8 lakh. Police officials said that two more accused are wanted, including a female 'bank employee' who called up the accountant.

According to a report in the Times of India, in July 2020, the accountant received calls from bank employee Priya Sharma, who offered a personal loan of Rs 12 lakh. When the accountant gave in, Sharma asked him to deposit Rs 12,600 for instant loan approval.
