Udupi: The Kot police in Udupi district have uncovered a major fraud in which school and college buses were insured with fake policies, resulting in the embezzlement of several crore rupees. Two individuals have been arrested in connection with the case.
During a press briefing, SP Hariram Shankar identified the arrested accused as Rakesh S. (33) of Sastana Kunjikere Road and Charan Babu M. of Shirsi. According to the police, the duo allegedly created fake insurance policies and defrauded insurance companies of crores of rupees.
The case came to light following an incident on November 25, 2024, in the Hunshemakki area of Hombadi-Mandadi village under Kot police station limits, where a school bus collided with an auto-rickshaw. The auto-rickshaw driver had demanded ₹15,95,000 as insurance compensation. Upon verification by the insurance company, it was discovered that the school bus’s insurance policy was forged.
The Reliance General Insurance Manager reported that the accused had submitted fake insurance policies to the police and the court, thereby defrauding the company. A special investigation team was formed, which revealed that the accused had issued fake insurance policies for several school buses.
Police said the accused previously had work experience with Reliance General Insurance, which may have helped them execute the scam. The investigation is ongoing.
