A retired Bengaluru police officer, 63‑year‑old KN Nandeshwarachar, was tricked into losing Rs 6.3 lakh when he sought a loan to purchase a Toyota Innova. After visiting Ravindu Motors in Rajajinagar, he met a person posing as “Murthy” who directed him to a finance agent named Arun. Trusting the agent, Nandeshwarachar transferred the full amount via RTGS to an account of “AARVIN IT EDGE PRIVATE LIMITED” in Patancheru, Telangana. When he returned to the showroom on May 15, staff said no loan had been processed and no vehicle was booked; the agent’s phone was disconnected. Police have filed a case under the IT Act and cheating charges, tracing the money through accounts in Kerala and Punjab and working to freeze the fraudsters’ accounts.
