Maina-Curtorim police have registered an FIR against unknown persons for allegedly duping a Raia resident of Rs 1.15 lakh through an online loan scam.
According to a complaint filed by Maleeha Shaikh, she came across two online loan platforms, “Cash Bus” and “Rupeeli”, while searching for loan options on March 22, 2026. Believing the platforms to be legitimate, she applied for a loan.
Subsequently, Rs 1,14,840 was credited to her bank account through two transactions that she had not requested. After the amount was repaid, multiple unauthorised debit transactions were allegedly carried out from her account without her knowledge or consent.
The complainant alleged that the accused manipulated the loan application platform to gain unauthorised access to her bank account, resulting in a wrongful loss of Rs 1,15,820.
Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the fraud.
