RAIA: A woman from Raia in Salcete has allegedly been cheated of ₹1,51,820 in an online loan application fraud, following which a case has been registered at Maina-Curtorim Police Station.
According to the complaint filed by Maleeha Shaikh, on March 22, 2026, at around 9:30 pm, she was searching online for loan applications when she came across two platforms, “Cash Bus” and “Rupeeli”, which she believed to be legitimate financial service providers. She applied for a loan through these platforms.
Police said that a total amount of ₹1,14,840 was subsequently credited to her bank account through two separate transactions that she had not specifically requested. After the repayment process, the same amount was debited from her account. Immediately thereafter, several unauthorised debit transactions allegedly took place without her knowledge, consent, or authorisation.
The complainant alleged that the unknown accused manipulated the application platform to gain unauthorised access to her bank account and fraudulently siphoned off additional funds, causing her a total wrongful loss of ₹1,51,820, while securing wrongful gain for themselves.
Further investigation is being carried out by PSI Ashutosh Naik of Maina Curtorim Police Station.
